H.R. 5108 — Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act

This section defines, for purposes of the Act, (1) "Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds" as grants under subpart 1 of part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (34 U.S.C. 10151 et seq.), including grants made directly to units of local government under 34 U.S.C. 10156(d); (2) "immigration enforcement information" as information relating to an individual's citizenship or immigration status or the date, time, and location of any individual's release from detention, jail, or prison; and (3) "State" as having the meaning given in 34 U.S.C. 10251.

This section restricts Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (Byrne JAG) funding—grants to states and localities for law enforcement, prosecution, courts, corrections, crime prevention, and related activities—for states that (1) issue driver's licenses to individuals lacking proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence or (2) prohibit or restrict state or local government entities or officials from sharing immigration enforcement information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Such states must return all unobligated Byrne JAG funds to the Treasury—within 30 days of issuing such a license for states under (1) or within 30 days of enactment for states under (2)—and remain ineligible for future Byrne JAG funds until enacting laws or policies prohibiting issuance of driver's licenses without proof of citizenship or lawful presence and permitting such information sharing with DHS.
