SAFE Driving Laws Act

This bill would withhold 50% of federal highway funding from states that issue driver's licenses to people without proof of U.S. citizenship or legal residency status, starting in 2027. To comply, states must ban such licenses and allow local/state officials to share immigration status information with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Transportation Secretary would maintain a public database tracking each state's compliance with these requirements. The law directly affects state governments and their access to federal transportation funds, not individual drivers.
