HR 9141, the "SAVE America Through REAL ID Act," would create a DHS grant program helping states waive fees and cover costs of issuing REAL ID-compliant licenses and IDs to low-income residents. States could use funds for fee waivers, administrative costs, outreach campaigns, mobile services, and help gathering required documents.
The bill affects low-income individuals facing cost barriers to obtaining a REAL ID, state motor vehicle agencies that issue the IDs, and federal taxpayers who would fund the program.
States would gain funding but must meet new reporting, privacy, and data security requirements, and the program would face federal audits and congressional oversight.
