Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2025

# Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prohibit states from issuing driver's licenses or identification cards to people who are not legally authorized to be in the United States. Currently, some states allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, while other states do not. If passed, this federal law would create a uniform nationwide requirement preventing all states from issuing these documents to anyone without legal immigration status. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily affect undocumented immigrants, state motor vehicle departments, and potentially anyone relying on driver's licenses for identification or travel. It would also impact states like California, New York, and others that currently allow undocumented immigrants to obtain licenses.

The legislation appears to connect driver's license access to immigration enforcement and federal compliance requirements for states. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee (S 2774, 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The bill was sponsored by Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). Limited details about specific enforcement mechanisms or exceptions are available in the summary provided.
