AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah currently offers a "driving privilege card" that allows people who cannot prove legal immigration status to obtain a limited driving credential, letting them legally drive without meeting the standard driver license requirements. This bill would end that program by barring the Driver License Division from issuing any new driving privilege cards starting May 6, 2026, and it removes references to the card throughout state law, including provisions that had allowed it to serve as valid identification for things like pawnshop transactions and buying alcohol or tobacco. It also requires law enforcement officers to report to federal immigration authorities (ICE) whenever a person believed to be unlawfully present in the country is involved in a motor vehicle accident. As a result, people who currently rely on a driving privilege card to drive legally would lose that option, and involvement in a car accident could trigger a report to federal immigration enforcement.
