Bill Summary
A BILL To restrict certain Federal grants for States that grant driver licenses to illegal immigrants and fail to share information about criminal aliens with the Federal Government.
AI Summary
This bill aims to penalize states that issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants or restrict the sharing of immigration-related information with federal authorities. Specifically, the bill would require states that issue driver's licenses to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, or states that prohibit sharing immigration enforcement information with the Department of Homeland Security, to return any unobligated Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds within 30 days. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program provides federal funding to support state and local law enforcement efforts. Additionally, such states would become ineligible to receive these grant funds until they change their laws to prohibit issuing driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants and allow full cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The bill defines key terms such as "immigration enforcement information" to include an individual's citizenship status and details about their release from detention, and provides a clear mechanism for enforcing these restrictions on states that do not comply with federal immigration policies.
