For those who don’t, a bill before state lawmakers may not matter, but those who do are pretty excited.

? A bill in the state Legislature would amend the Colorado law that allows undocumented people to get a driver’s license or ID card by allowing the use of a government-issued Social Security Card to either get or renew their driver’s license.
