What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryImpaired driving becomes ground for deportation
This bill adds a new consequence for non-U.S. citizens who drive while intoxicated or impaired. If someone admits to or is convicted of this offense, they can be barred from entering the United States. If they're already in the country and convicted, they can be deported.
How it affects you
This mainly affects non-U.S. citizens and immigration enforcement. It makes impaired driving grounds for deportation, whereas that wasn't the case before. For most U.S. citizens, impaired driving laws and penalties remain unchanged.
