Immigration (Citizenship & Naturalization)

HB 2867 clarifies that Arizona driver's licenses are not proof of citizenship. The bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes to adjust definitions and prohibitions related to driver's license issuance, ensuring citizenship status is not required for obtaining a license. It prevents driver's licenses from being treated as evidence of citizenship in any context. This change directly affects all Arizona residents applying for or renewing a driver's license.

HB 2465 modifies Arizona's licensing requirements for professionals like certified public accountants by changing documentation rules. It prohibits state agencies from requiring applicants to provide citizenship or alien status documentation when applying for a license. Instead, agencies must accept a federal tax identification number in place of a Social Security number for licensing applications. This applies to all state agencies, departments, or boards issuing business or service licenses, directly affecting individuals seeking professional licenses in Arizona. The bill does not alter educational or experience requirements for licensure, only the documentation process.
