The Florida Supreme Court will be able to grant law licenses to non-citizens under a bill that’s going to Gov. Rick Scott.

The Supreme Court ruled in March that people in the country illegally can’t be issued law licenses. The case involved Jose Godinez-Samperio, who was seeking his license after passing the bar in 2011. Godinez-Samperio came to the United States with his parents on a tourist visa when he was 9, and they remained in the country after it expired.
