This bill adds new requirements for states regarding the issuance of driver's licenses and establishes penalties for noncompliance.

  • 23 U.S.C. 180

    Sec. 180. Issuance of drivers licenses to individuals who do not have proof of citizenship or lawful permanent residence

    This creates a new section in U.S. law that sets conditions for issuing driver's licenses based on proof of citizenship.

  • 23 U.S.C. 180

    (a) Withholding of Funds for Noncompliance.--The Secretary shall withhold 50 percent of the amount required to be apportioned to any State under paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 104(b) on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2027 if the State is not in compliance with subsection (b) as of such day.

    This imposes a financial penalty on states that do not comply with the new licensing requirements.

  • 23 U.S.C. 180

    (b) State Actions.--To be in compliance with this subsection, a State-- (1) shall have in effect a law prohibiting the issuance of a drivers license or a commercial drivers license to an individual who does not have proof of United States citizenship or lawful permanent residence in the United States; and (2) may not prohibit or restrict a local or State government entity or official from collecting or sending to or receiving from the Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement information.

    This defines the actions that states must take to avoid the penalties, including enacting laws related to driver's licenses.

  • 23 U.S.C. 180

    (c) Public Database.--The Secretary Transportation and the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security shall-- (1) determine whether each State is in compliance with this subsection (b); and (2) maintain a database that is publicly available on a website of each such Secretary of the status of compliance of each State with the requirements of such subsection.

    This mandates the creation of a public database to track state compliance with the new driver's license issuance requirements.

  • 23 U.S.C. 180

    (d) Definition of Immigration Enforcement Information.--In this section, the term 'immigration enforcement information' means-- (1) information relating to the citizenship or immigration status of any individual; and (2) the date, time, and location of the release of any individual from detention, jail, or a prison facility.

    This establishes what constitutes immigration enforcement information in the context of the law.

  • 23 U.S.C. 104(b)

    and (2) of section 104(b)

    This specifies which funding provisions are affected by the withholding of funds due to noncompliance.

  • Title 23, United States Code

    The analysis for chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: "180. Issuance of drivers licenses to individuals who do not have proof of citizenship or lawful permanent residence."

    This adds a reference to the new section in the statutory analysis, ensuring it is recognized in legal documents.
