To require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the development and implementation by States of security measures for driver's licenses and identification cards and a study on the consequences of denying driver's licenses to aliens unlawfully present in the United States, and for other purposes.

Summary: Security Measures Feasibility Act - Requires the Comptroller General to conduct a study evaluating: (1) the ability of the States to develop and implement specified security measures (including the incorporation of anti-fraud features, the use of uniform machine-readable technology, and implementation of a social security number confirmation system) for the issuance and use of driver's licenses and identification cards; (2) the cost of developing and implementing each such measure for each State; and (3) the amount of time that such development and implementation would require for each State.

Directs the Comptroller General to conduct a study of the potential adverse consequences of preventing aliens unlawfully present in the United States from obtaining driver's licenses.

Requires the Comptroller General to report findings of both studies to appropriate congressional committees and to the Secretary of Homeland Security, incorporating any recommendations for administrative or legislative action.

SEC. 2. STUDIES RELATED TO STATE-ISSUED DRIVER'S LICENSES AND 
              IDENTIFICATION CARDS.

    (a) Study on Security Measures for State-Issued Driver's Licenses 
and Identification Cards.--
            (1) Feasibility study.--Commencing not later than 30 days 
        after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller 
        General of the United States shall conduct a study to 
        evaluate--
                    (A) the ability of the States to develop and 
                implement the security measures for the issuance and 
                use of driver's licenses and identification cards 
                described in subsection (b);
                    (B) the cost of developing and implementing each 
                such measure, for each State; and
                    (C) the amount of time that such development and 
                implementation would require, for each State.
            (2) Security measures.--The study under subsection (a) 
        shall address the following:
                    (A) Incorporation of physical security features 
                designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or 
                duplication of driver's licenses and identification 
                cards for fraudulent purposes.
                    (B) Use of a uniform machine-readable technology 
                for driver's licenses and identification cards by all 
                States.
                    (C) Use of available technology to capture digital 
                images of identity source documents so that the images 
                can be retained in electronic storage in a transferable 
                format.
                    (D) Implementation of a standard for the retention 
                of paper copies of source documents for a minimum of 7 
                years and digital images of source documents for a 
                minimum of 10 years.
                    (E) Subjecting each person applying for a driver's 
                license or identification card to a mandatory facial 
                image capture.
                    (F) Implementation of an effective procedure to 
                confirm or verify a renewing applicant's information.
                    (G) Implementation of an effective procedure to 
                confirm with the Social Security Administration that a 
                social security account number presented by the 
                applicant is legitimate and to resolve any 
                discrepancies about such a number that might occur.
                    (H) Implementation of procedures to ensure the 
                physical security of locations where driver's licenses 
                and identification cards are produced and to ensure the 
                security of document materials and papers from which 
                driver's licenses and identification cards are 
                produced.
                    (I) Subjecting all persons authorized to 
                manufacture or produce driver's licenses and 
                identification cards to appropriate security clearance 
                requirements.
                    (J) Provision of training in fraudulent document 
                recognition for appropriate employees engaged in the 
                issuance of driver's licenses and identification cards.
                    (K) Full participation in the interstate compact 
                regarding the sharing of driver's license data, known 
                as the ``Driver's License Agreement'', in order to 
                provide electronic access by a State to information 
                contained in the motor vehicle databases of all other 
                States.
                    (L) Establishment of State motor vehicle databases 
                that contain, at a minimum, all data fields printed on 
                driver's licenses and identification cards issued by 
                the State, and motor vehicle driver's histories, 
                including motor vehicle violations, suspensions, and 
                points on licenses.
                    (M) Establishment of two category systems for 
                driver's licenses, one for citizens and lawful 
                permanent residents of the United States which would 
                have to be renewed after a fixed period of time and 
                another for nonimmigrant aliens which would expire at 
                the expiration of the nonimmigrant's authorized period 
                of stay in the United States.
                    (N) Implementation of an effective procedure to 
                verify the issuance, validity, and completeness of 
                every document required to be presented by an applicant 
                for a driver's license or identification card.
                    (O) Routine utilization of the automated system 
                known as ``Systematic Alien Verification for 
                Entitlements''.
                    (P) Establishing a system for ensuring that, in 
                every case in which the State issues a driver's license 
                or identification card that does not satisfy the these 
                security measures, the license or identification card 
                clearly states on its face that it may not be accepted 
                by any Federal agency for any official purpose and uses 
                a design or color indicator to alert Federal agencies 
                that it may not be accepted for any such purpose.
    (b) Study on Consequences of Making Driver's Licenses Unavailable 
to Undocumented Aliens.--Commencing not later than 30 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the 
United States shall conduct a study on the adverse consequences that 
could result from preventing aliens who are unlawfully present in the 
United States from obtaining driver's licenses, taking into account the 
probability that such an alien will drive without a license if rendered 
ineligible to receive one based on such unlawful status.
    (c) Report to Congress.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 270 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the 
        United States shall submit to the appropriate committees of the 
        Congress and the Secretary of Homeland Security a report on the 
        findings and recommendations resulting from the studies 
        described in subsections (a) and (b).
