HB 4099 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

To disallow the recognition of a drivers license issued by another state to any undocumented immigrant

HB 4099 prohibits West Virginia from recognizing driver's licenses issued by other states to individuals who cannot prove lawful presence in the U.S. (such as licenses marked for undocumented immigrants or issued exclusively to them). It makes these licenses invalid for driving in West Virginia, requiring law enforcement to issue citations for driving without a valid license when such a license is presented. The state’s motor vehicle department must maintain an online list of out-of-state license types deemed invalid under this law. This bill directly affects undocumented immigrants who hold out-of-state licenses and would be unable to legally operate vehicles in West Virginia under this policy.
