Supreme Court Rejects Florida’s Lawsuit Against California, Washington Over Immigrant Driver’s Licenses

The Supreme Court has declined to hear a lawsuit filed by Florida against California and Washington. The lawsuit sought to prevent the two states from issuing commercial driver’s licenses to immigrants who are not authorized to be in the United States.

Florida’s legal action was initiated following a fatal crash that occurred in Florida. The driver involved in the incident had obtained a commercial license from California and previously held one from Washington. The state of Florida argued that the issuance of these licenses by California and Washington posed a public safety risk.

The Supreme Court’s decision means that Florida’s attempt to sue the other states on this matter has been rejected, and the existing licensing practices in California and Washington will not be directly challenged through this particular lawsuit at the federal level.
