WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenCurrently, states have different rules for what information is displayed on a license and how they verify citizenship. By making federal recognition dependent on a citizenship marker, this bill aims to create a uniform way for federal agents to identify U.S. citizens at security checkpoints. It also tightens oversight on who can operate commercial vehicles on American highways.
