Iowa bill would require state to use federal database to confirm immigration status for driver's licenses

The bill mandates Iowa DOT to verify applicants' immigration status via the federal SAVE system when citizenship proof is absent, a move opposed by immigrant groups.

Republican Sen. Tim Kraayenbrink, of Fort Dodge, said the legislation is necessary to codify the use of SAVE or another verification program to ensure the DOT is verifying immigration status.
