Bill > S2774

This bill, called the "Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2025," aims to penalize states that issue driver licenses to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, or that prohibit sharing immigration enforcement information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Specifically, the bill targets Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds, which are federal grants used for law enforcement and criminal justice purposes. If a state issues a driver license to an undocumented immigrant or restricts information sharing with DHS, the state will be required to return any unobligated grant funds within 30 days and become ineligible for future grants. Immigration enforcement information is defined as details about an individual's citizenship or immigration status, and the date, time, and location of their release from detention. The bill's goal is to incentivize states to enforce federal immigration laws by threatening their access to important law enforcement funding.
