## Summary

**Conditions federal infrastructure funding on local compliance with a DHS notification requirement.** The bill would withhold federal infrastructure money from cities or counties that do not adopt a policy to notify the Department of Homeland Security at least 48 hours before releasing an alien DHS has determined is not lawfully present, with a 1-year deadline to comply. - Local governments would need a statute, ordinance, policy, or practice that requires an official or entity to notify DHS not later than 48 hours before releasing an alien DHS has identified as not lawfully present, when that person has been detained for at least 48 hours. - States could not pass federal infrastructure funds through to subdivisions that fail to adopt the required notification rule. The Secretary of Transportation could not obligate or award funds directly to noncomplying subdivisions. - The funding restriction applies to projects defined as "infrastructure projects" under the federal regulation cited in the bill, so the rule targets the same projects covered by existing federal grant rules.
