Access to driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants
Advocates worked hard during the pandemic to help the state’s undocumented population affected by job losses due to economic closure. And Princeton has an undocumented giant population.
A year ago, Gov. Phil Murphy signed a new law to expand access to driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants. Although the state expected to begin licensing from January 1 and December 29, the Motor Vehicle Commission said it delays the implementation of the law due to a heavy workload caused by COVID-19.
No interim date has been given, however, licenses are expected to begin to be issued soon, now that vaccine distribution has begun and MVC is working hard.
Delayed marijuana legalization bill
The bill for marijuana legalization has been delayed. According to a policy report, Murphy’s management opposes the law that creates the framework for the sale of the drug.
At a press conference on December 28, Murphy said there were “technical but vital things we’re looking to clarify” about the legislation. The bill requests Governor Phil Murphy’s signature as law.
In the November elections, New Jersey voted overwhelmingly in favor of legalizing marijuana. State officials said it could take six months to a year to sell the drug in stores.
