Attorney General’s Office Successfully Defends Challenge to Nebraska Driver’s License Statute

  LINCOLN - Attorney General Bruning today announced his office successfully defended the challenge to Nebraska’s statute requiring applicants to show lawful immigration status before being issued a driver’s license. The case was dismissed with prejudice.   “We’re pleased the court dismissed the case and recognized illegal immigrants don’t qualify for Nebraska driver’s licenses,” said Bruning. “Today’s ruling validates the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicle’s denial of applications from those without lawful status.”
