A series of reforms introduced in Georgia will now allow Puerto Ricans to transfer their driver's licenses without having to take tests or meet requirements other US citizens wouldn't have to meet, a human and civil rights group says.
"The reforms being enacted will finally afford Puerto Ricans the same privileges as other U.S. Citizens in Georgia: the ability to obtain a driver's license, to drive to work, vote, and carry out countless other necessary tasks, while also ensuring their constitutional rights are no longer being violated," the LatinoJustice Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund said in a news release.
