Back to EpisodesTexas Workers' Licenses at Risk in License Rule Change
Description
Thousands of skilled workers in Texas, including undocumented immigrants, face losing their occupational licenses due to a proposed rule change. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton overturned a decades-old provision allowing licenses without a Social Security number. The move, which could disrupt industries across the state, is seen as a political maneuver by Paxton, who is eyeing a U.S. Senate seat. The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation will vote on the proposal on March 24th, with public comments deciding the fate of these workers.
