Stop Identity Fraud and Identity Theft Act of 2026
Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committees on Financial Services, and Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill directs the Treasury Secretary to set up a grant program that gives states money to build digital driver’s licenses and other identity credentials that meet new federal security standards. The goal is to make it harder for criminals, foreign adversaries, and AI‑driven deepfakes to steal or fake identities, protecting consumers, businesses, and government benefit programs. States must use at least 10% of the funds to help individuals obtain these credentials, but cannot force anyone to use digital IDs or issue them to unauthorized immigrants.
