Findings

Congress finds that— (1) Federal transportation funding supports the safety and efficiency of the highways, bridges, and public transit systems of the United States; (2) compliance with Federal immigration laws, including verification of lawful presence for driver's license issuance and cooperation with Federal immigration enforcement, directly impacts road safety by ensuring that licensed drivers are properly vetted and reducing risks associated with unverified operators; (3) States that issue driver's licenses without requiring proof of lawful presence or that restrict information sharing with Federal immigration authorities undermine national security and transportation safety objectives; and (4) conditioning a portion of Federal highway funding on compliance described in paragraph (2) is a reasonable exercise of the authority of Congress under the Spending Clause of section 8 of article I of the Constitution to promote the general welfare.
