Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act

This bill targets states that issue driver licenses to people without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, and states that limit state or local officials from sharing immigration information with the Department of Homeland Security. Such states would have to return any unspent Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant funds to the U.S. Treasury within 30 days. They would also be unable to receive these federal law enforcement grants until they adopt a law or policy that bans such licenses and allows officials to share immigration information with the Department of Homeland Security. Immigration information includes a person's citizenship or immigration status and the date, time, and place of their release from jail or prison.
