Hope for Floridian Driving Licenses
A bill that would grant foreigners the right to hold a Florida driving license for 6 years is currently making its way through the Florida legislature.
Senator Rudy Garcia, who unsuccessfully introduced a similar bill last year has made amendments and is trying again. Under the bill, foreigners would need to have owned or leased a house in Florida for at least six months in the last five years. The license would be stamped in red with the words "For Driving Purposes Only" and could last for the duration of a persons visa. Currently licenses expire after six months. We will be watching this closely and will report any news on this item as it happens.
