Conservatives Support
Description
This bill establishes that in civil lawsuits relating to automobile accidents, unauthorized aliens cannot recover general damages, meaning they’re unable to benefit from public services, in particular state courts, due to their unlawful presence. CPAC opposes illegal immigration, supports policy action taken to mitigate it, and supported this bill. The house passed the bill on May 27, 2025 by a vote of 74-24, and it later became law.
