This bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to create a grant program within one year for states to fight identity fraud and theft. States could use the grants to build digital driver's licenses and other digital ID credentials that follow federal technical guidelines, protect privacy, guard against AI "deepfake" attacks, and replace older identity systems. At least 10 percent of each state's grant must go to helping people get the documents or verification needed to obtain a digital ID. States could not use the money to require people to use digital IDs, to end physical licenses, or to issue licenses or IDs to unauthorized immigrants, and no state would be required to offer digital IDs.
