Ensuring States Support Law Enforcement Act

The Ensuring States Support Law Enforcement Act requires states to adopt policies allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to access state driver's license and vehicle registration records for immigration enforcement purposes. States must implement this policy by the first fiscal year after the bill becomes law to qualify for federal law enforcement grants. Specifically, this applies to states seeking funds through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, which provides federal funding for state and local law enforcement initiatives. Failure to comply would make a state ineligible for these grants.
