Immigrant Driving Amendments

The bill would have eliminated Utah's driving privilege card program, which allows Utah residents who are not eligible for a REAL ID document or are unable to establish lawful presence to obtain a driver's license. This program promotes public safety by allowing all drivers to be screened for driving ability and to obtain auto insurance, protecting everyone on Utah roads. The bill would have also required local law enforcement to notify ICE of car accidents involving a driver without lawful immigration status, further intertwining local law enforcement duties with federal immigration enforcement.
