SAFE Driving Laws Act

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to withhold 50 percent of certain federal highway funds from a state each year, starting in fiscal year 2027, if the state does not meet two conditions. First, the state must have a law that bans issuing a driver's license or commercial driver's license to anyone without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residence. Second, the state may not stop or limit state or local officials from collecting, sending, or receiving immigration enforcement information with the Department of Homeland Security. This information includes a person's citizenship or immigration status and the date, time, and place of a person's release from jail, prison, or detention. The Secretaries of Transportation and Homeland Security would decide whether each state complies and post each state's status in a public online database.
