A Texas department has unanimously passed a new rule that could endanger the jobs of thousands of licensed workers in the state. According to reports, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has removed the ability for undocumented immigrants to earn licenses and certifications, upholding a move by Texas AG Ken Paxton to kill a provision made in 2001.
What does this mean? Workers without social security numbers will no longer be able to obtain or renew licenses for skilled work in the state. The change will come into effect from May 1.
