I am writing to express my support for Senate Bill SB 669 and House BillHB 2114, which would expand driver's license eligibility to No traditional residents who pay their taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). As your constituent, I urge you to support this important legislation to ensure access to driver's licenses for all Oklahoma taxpayers.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of similar legislation during the last legislative session. Your leadership on this issue helped bring attention to the need for driver's license eligibility expansion for ITIN filers, and your support was instrumental in helping to advance this issue.
As you know, there are over 33,000 Oklahomans who pay more than $26 million in taxes to the state of Oklahoma, but are still unable to take the state driver's license test. By expanding eligibility to include ITIN filers, we can provide access to driver's licenses to those who are contributing to our state's economy and communities.
These bills are not only about granting licenses to those who are eligible, but also include robust provisions to ensure our democratic process is secure. The bills prevent ITIN filers from registering to vote and distinguish between regular licenses and ITIN licenses. These measures are crucial in safeguarding our elections and ensuring that our democratic process is not compromised.
Therefore if driver licenses are granted to be issued to non-tradicional residents this would allow the authorities to know the identity of people to differentiate, pursue and track down real criminals. It would also provide more accurate statistics as to how many non-traditional residents are living in the state, as well as their country of origin.
The bills are supported by several notable groups, including the Oklahoma Sheriffs Association, the Oklahoma Troopers Association, the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce, the Oklahoma Policy Institute, the Oklahoma Association of General Contractors, the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, and the Oklahoma Farm Bureau.

I really thought this might just float around in the void but seeing everyone jumping on board is honestly blowing my mind right now. It feels like people are finally noticing how much sense this makes for our state and that energy is honestly keeping me going even when things feel a bit chaotic.

Hope and pray this passes, license is needed people our out there driving anyways might as well know whose out there on the roads. Better driving legally than illegally.
Soy madre soltera de 2 y tengo 22 años viviendo en Oklahoma los cuales en manejado diario sin licencia manejo de 3a 4 horas diarias por necesidad y seguridad para otros conductores y la de mis hijos y mis por favor piensen un poco en nosotros y también en ustedes y otórguenos la licencia de conducir por la seguridad de todos
Sería una oportunidad muy buena para todos los que conducimos siempre al travajo y con miedo de que nos detengan por cualquier razón y eso sea una mala consecuencia al no tener una licencia válida para el estado, lo único que queremos es estar bien sentirnos seguros al conducir sin miedos y volver a casa,
Ojalá pudieran otorgarnos la licencia para no tener que viajar a otros elEstados más lejos a solicitarla y poder tener una identificación válida en Estados Unidos . Gracias
As a citizen I want to feel safe on the streets driving so that if someone has an accident with me, they do not run away because they do not have a license and car insurance, the license provides us with security, more monetary income for the state, and the economy of the state will grow more and It makes it easier for the police to work. Yes to driver's licenses for all residents of the state of oklahoma yes. They distanced some.
Awesome
It is time to have the driver license for our comunidad!
