Restricting Driver Licenses and Funds for States Aiding Illegal Immigrants
This act aims to restrict federal funds for states that issue driver licenses to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. States failing to share immigration enforcement information with the federal government will lose access to crucial public safety grants. Citizens might see changes in state driver's license policies and the funding of local safety programs.
Key points
States issuing driver licenses to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence will lose federal justice program funds.
States that restrict sharing immigration enforcement information with the federal government will also lose these funds.
The lost funds are from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, which supports local public safety initiatives.
