SAVE America Through REAL ID Act

This bill would create a federal grant program, run by the Secretary of Homeland Security, to help states issue REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses or ID cards at no cost to low-income individuals. Low-income means household income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, or taking part in a means-tested public assistance program. States could use the money to waive fees, cover processing costs, run public awareness activities, offer mobile services, and help applicants get supporting documents. Funds would be divided based on each state's low-income population and need, and states would report yearly on cards issued and spending. The bill authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
