Bill > HR203

This bill, called the "Red Light Act", would withhold 100 percent of federal highway funding from states that provide driver's licenses or identification cards to individuals who are in the United States without legal authorization. Specifically, for fiscal year 2023 and subsequent years, the Secretary of Transportation would be required to withhold highway funds from any state that has enacted a law allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain such identification. If a state later repeals its law allowing identification cards for undocumented immigrants, it can receive the withheld funds, which would remain available until the end of the fiscal year. If a state does not repeal such a law, the withheld funds would be redistributed proportionally among states that have not enacted similar laws. Additionally, if a state that previously received reapportioned funds subsequently passes a law allowing such identification cards, it would again face funding withholding in the following fiscal year and thereafter. The bill defines an identification card as a personal identification card as defined in existing federal law, and the provision would apply to any state-issued identification card.
