Immigration (Driver Licenses & IDs)

LD 387 prohibits the Governor of Maine from relocating undocumented immigrants into the state or taking actions to assist such relocation. The bill specifically states the Governor may not authorize, approve, or otherwise help transport undocumented immigrants into Maine, defining "undocumented immigrants" as people not lawfully present in the United States. This policy directly affects the Governor and state officials involved in immigration-related decisions. The law creates a clear restriction on executive actions regarding the movement of undocumented individuals into Maine.

This bill requires Maine driver's licenses and nondriver ID cards to display whether the holder is a U.S. citizen, a noncitizen, or an asylum seeker. It directly affects all license and ID card holders in Maine by adding this citizenship status designation to their existing identification. The key provision amends state law to mandate this information appear on all new and renewed licenses, replacing current requirements with a clear status indicator. The bill does not change eligibility for licenses but adds a standardized classification to identification documents.
