Illinois started to provide standard driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants last year. Gov. JB Pritzker has now signed a bill into law to allow them to become driving instructors.
In 2013, Illinois led the country as one of the first states to issue temporary visitor driver's licenses to help drivers who passed road tests regardless of immigration status. The 2024 law allowed undocumented immigrants to receive standard IDs without the large purple mark stating not valid for identification.
House Bill 3125 will allow anyone with a TVDL for at least two years to teach driving courses. Sponsors said this change will help expand the people eligible to become driving instructors without reducing qualifications for the job.
"Some of these qualifications include good moral character, a criminal background check, passing an exam from the Secretary of State's office on traffic laws and safe driving practices, while being able to physically operate a motor vehicle safely and graduating from an accredited high school," said Sen. Karina Villa (D-West Chicago).
Potential driving instructors must also be authorized to work in the United States.
Yet, House and Senate Republicans oppose the idea. Some said they know there is a growing demand for driving instructors, but this is not the right solution.
House Bill 3125 passed out of the Senate on a 37-20 vote. The measure received a 75-38 vote in the House.
The new law will take effect on Jan. 1.

illegal alien ≠ immigrant
Even the Babylon Bee can’t come close to reality, which has become a sick joke.
Why not cops?
The Prickster needs to be arrested right now.
No speak a da engrish
I suppose this is OK if:
1) applicant reads, speaks, writes USA English perfectly,
2) has USA citizenship application in the works,
3) has gainful employment if this teaching gig is part-time,
4) has no minor or major criminal record,
5) has no gang or cartel associations (gang tattoos mean no job for you),
6) other things ... ??
Pronto. He will definitely lose serious weight on a prison diet.
That illegal alien truck driver who killed 3 pulling a U-Turn would be perfect.
So many politicians feel free in recent years to display their abject hatred of Americans, it’s just amazing. I hope the MFer dies in a fire.
The headline is deceiving.
There has never been a ban on “immigrants” being a driving instructors. Elon Musk, for example, would not be prevented from holding such a job just because he is an immigrant.
What could go wrong???
“”issue temporary visitor driver’s licenses to help drivers””
HELP them do what?
Demand for driving instructors? WOW! Since when? Have never seen that on a list of high priorities for our country. Maybe only in IL? Just think - we go from day to day worrying about the lack of driving instructors in the country. We must do better! Sarcasm is a “must” when writing about IL.....
This guy, Prictzker, needs ventilation...
As I read the title I thought it was a Babylon Bee article. And to think how far Illinois has fallen since Abraham Lincoln!
This is an intentional slap in the face to the family of the victims down in Florida!
Immigrants? Do you mean foreign-born persons who applied and became US citizens legally were not allowed to be driving instructors in Illinois????
From NYS. Still no info on the immigration status of the driver, the immigration status of the passengers, or why sealt belt use by passengers was allowed to be optional...
Pritzger is nuts. Totally.
