A BILL To restrict certain Federal grants for States that grant driv- er licenses to illegal immigrants and fail to share infor- mation about criminal aliens with the Federal Govern- ment.
AI Summary
This bill, the "Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2021," aims to restrict federal grants for states that issue driver's licenses to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, and prohibit those states from collecting and sharing immigration enforcement information with the federal government. Specifically, the bill requires such states to return any unobligated Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds within 30 days and become ineligible for these grants until they implement laws or policies that prohibit the issuance of driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants and allow for the sharing of immigration enforcement information with the Department of Homeland Security.
