LINCOLN Nebraska lawmakers voted Thursday to override the governors veto of legislation that provides drivers licenses to the children of illegal immigrants.
Senators voted 34-10 to overturn the veto and end Nebraskas status as the only state to deny driving privileges to a special category of immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.
Legislative Bill 623 passed 34-9, which is four more votes than needed to override the governors veto. It has support from some of the states largest business and agriculture groups, as well as Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert, a prominent Republican.
