Restricting Funds for States Issuing Driver Licenses to Illegal Immigrants

This act aims to restrict federal grants for states that issue driver licenses to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. Such states will be required to return unspent funds and will be ineligible for future grants until they change their policies. This is intended to encourage states to comply with federal immigration laws and share immigration enforcement information.
Key points
States issuing driver licenses to individuals without legal U.S. status will lose federal justice assistance funds.
States that prohibit or restrict sharing immigration enforcement information with the federal government will also lose these funds.
Funding ineligibility will continue until the state enacts laws prohibiting such driver license issuance and permitting information sharing.
