Montgomery, AL – Some of the Republicans who voted for Alabama's new immigration law are looking at making changes that they say will make the law easier to understand but won't weaken it.
Republican Sen. Gerald Dial says some mistakes were made in the bill and he's working with other senators to try to address them. He doesn't want people renewing their professional licenses or buying car tags to have to prove their legal residency every year. Another Republican senator, Dick Brewbaker, says the documents needed to buy a vehicle and the documents needed to get a tag aren't the same, and they should be.
The bill's House sponsor, Republican Micky Hammon, says he wants to clarify that all military IDs are acceptable forms of legal residency, but he's opposed to major changes
