        date.
            ``(7) Requirement.--A State shall have funds withheld under 
        this subsection if the State has enacted a law that allows the

                2007.--Any funds withheld under subsection (a) from 
                apportionment to any State on or before September 30, 
                2005, shall remain available until the end of the third 
                fiscal year following the fiscal year for which the 
                funds are authorized to be appropriated.
                    ``(B) Funds withheld after september 30, 2007.--No 
                funds withheld under this section from apportionment to 
                any State after September 30, 2007, shall be available 
                for apportionment to the State.
            ``(2) Apportionment of withheld funds after compliance.--
        If, before the last day of the period for which funds withheld 
        under subsection (a) from apportionment are to remain available 
        for apportionment to a State under paragraph (1), the State has 
        repealed a law described in subsection (a)(7), the Secretary 
        shall, on the first day on which the State repeals such law, 
        apportion to the State the funds withheld under subsection (a) 
        that remain available for apportionment to the State.
            ``(3) Period of availability of subsequently apportioned 
        funds.--Any funds apportioned pursuant to paragraph (2) shall 
        remain available for expenditure until the end of the third 
        fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the funds are so 
        apportioned. Sums not obligated at the end of that period shall 
        lapse.
            ``(4) Effect of noncompliance.--If, at the end of the 
        period for which funds withheld under subsection (a) from 
        apportionment are available for apportionment to a State under 
        paragraph (1), the State does not repeal a law described 
        subsection (a)(7), the funds shall lapse.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--The analysis for such chapter is amended 
by inserting after the item relating to section 164 the following:

``165. Withholding of funds for enactment of a law allowing issuance of 
                            identification cards or drivers' licenses 
                            for certain individuals''.
