States would lose highway money if they don't follow federal immigration rules for licenses and information sharing.
This bill would make states follow federal immigration rules or lose some of their highway funding. States that don't check immigration status for driver's licenses or share info with federal agents could lose 5% to 10% of certain road funds. This would affect state budgets and people seeking driver's licenses.
Today, states have varying policies on issuing driver's licenses and cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. After this bill, states would need to comply with specific federal immigration rules, such as requiring proof of lawful status for driver's licenses and sharing immigration information. If they don't, they would lose 5% of certain federal highway funds in the first year of non-compliance, and 10% in subsequent years, starting October 1, 2026.
