Red Light Act

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to withhold all of certain federal highway funds from any state that has a law or policy allowing it to give a driver's license or identification card to a person who is in the United States unlawfully. Withholding would start on October 1, 2026, and happen each October 1 after that. If the Secretary decides a state no longer has such a law or policy before the fiscal year ends, the withheld funds would be given back to that state. Funds not given back would be redistributed to the other states based on their share of highway funding. A state that later adopts such a policy again would have its funds withheld for each following year.
