What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Stop Aliens From Evading Driving Laws Act," aims to withhold specific transportation program funds from states. The Secretary of Transportation would withhold 50 percent of certain highway funding starting in fiscal year 2027 if a state is not in compliance. To be compliant, a state must have a law prohibiting the issuance of drivers licenses or commercial drivers licenses to individuals without proof of citizenship or lawful permanent residence. Additionally, states may not restrict local or state entities from sharing immigration enforcement information with the Department of Homeland Security. The Secretaries of Transportation and Homeland Security are tasked with determining compliance and maintaining a public database.
