Bill overview
This bill, known as the Red Light Act, aims to restrict federal highway funding to states that issue driver’s licenses or other identification cards to individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States. Specifically, the Department of Transportation would withhold 100% of certain federal highway funds from states that comply with this requirement. The bill includes provisions for how funds would be reallocated if a state repeals the relevant law and for how funds would be distributed if a state continues to issue such identification cards. This legislation is intended to influence state policies regarding identification for undocumented immigrants.
