Taylor and Shreve Introduce Bill to Kick Illegal Alien CDL Drivers Off American Roads

Position: Representatives Taylor and Shreve introduced legislation to require states to report non-domiciled commercial driver's license holders to federal authorities and to authorize the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to access immigration status databases to verify lawful presence before CDL issuance, with the stated goal of identifying and removing undocumented immigrants from commercial driving roles.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representatives Dave Taylor (OH-02) and Jefferson Shreve (IN-06) today introduced H.R. 8640, the Non-Domiciled CDL Reporting Act, to identify illegal aliens who hold Commercial Drivers' Licenses, facilitate their removal from American roads, and keep American families safe. “For too long, Democrat-run states have handed out non-domiciled CDLs to illegal aliens, demonstrating a complete disregard for the safety of American families on our roads,” said Congressman Taylor. “I’m proud to introduce this bill with Congressman Shreve to close the gaps in our reporting systems and identify illegal aliens who hold CDLs so law enforcement can get these dangerous drivers off our roads.” "This is about public safety and basic accountability. If someone is being issued a commercial driver’s license in the United States, we should know they are lawfully eligible to receive it. Closing this gap strengthens oversight, enforces the law, and helps keep our roads safe,” said Congressman Shreve. Under current law, states are not required to report information regarding non-domiciled CDL awardees to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), creating a dangerous loophole that enables illegal aliens to drive heavy commercial vehicles on American roads. However, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) maintains an online service called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, which provides point-in-time immigration status and U.S. citizenship information to federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal agencies. The Non-Domiciled CDL Reporting Act would allow FMCSA to access the SAVE system to ensure lawful presence for all non-domiciled CDL applicants. Specifically, this bill would: Direct USCIS to grant FMCSA access to the SAVE system; Require states to transmit non-domiciled CDL applicants’ data to FMCSA; Direct FMCSA to run applicants’ data through the SAVE system to ensure lawful presence; Direct FMCSA to report to USCIS if any non-domiciled CDL license holder has an unlawful presence in the United States; and Provide a report to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee containing information on how many non-domiciled CDL holders were flagged using the SAVE system and the state where the licenses were awarded.

Congressman Taylor Applauds House Passage of Farm Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today applauded passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, also known as the Farm Bill, through the House of Representatives by a vote of 224-200. “After delivering an historic $66 billion to support American agriculture through President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts, I’m proud to advance a robust Farm Bill that further meets the needs of Ohio’s farmers, ranchers, and producers,” said Congressman Taylor. “This legislation reflects Republicans’ commitment to the men and women who feed our families, drive our economy, and safeguard our nation’s food supply. With 96% of farms in Ohio’s Second Congressional District being family-owned, this bill will strengthen Buckeye families and help ensure they thrive for generations to come.” “Working in Congress on behalf of our nation’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities is an honor — even when the work requires debating the farm bill through the night,” Chairman Glenn Thompson (PA-15) of the House Agriculture Committee said. “I can think of no more important work than championing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, and I am extremely pleased to see this bill pass out of the House of Representatives with a strong bipartisan vote.” Four of Congressman Taylor’s bills were passed in the Farm Bill: Rural Broadband Assistance Act, which helps small, rural Appalachian communities connect to the modern economy Water Infrastructure Assistance Reauthorization Act, which provides support for rural towns to modernize and update their water infrastructure Rural Wellness Act, which addresses behavioral and mental health challenges in rural America, including substance abuse Protecting American Farmland Act, which prohibits U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funds from being used for solar panels on prime farmland Background: The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 was introduced on February 13, 2026, and would reauthorize USDA programs through 2031. On March 5, 2026, Congressman Taylor voted to advance this bill through the House Agriculture Committee, which passed with a bipartisan vote of 34-17. The last full Farm Bill passed by Congress was in December of 2018, otherwise known as the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. Many of the Farm Bill provisions were included in short-term extensions in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to support American farmers, ranchers, producers, and consumers. On July 4, 2025, the largest investment in America’s agriculture industry was signed into law through President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which laid the groundwork for the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. Among many other investments, this bill: Reduced the cost of crop insurance Doubled agriculture trade programs to send U.S. products around the world Increased and made permanent the Death Tax exemption Invested in animal disease prevention to protect America’s food supply The full bill text of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is available here.

Taylor Bill Aims to Improve Response to Nitazene Overdoses

Position: Congressman Taylor introduced legislation requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to issue clinical guidelines for emergency response to nitazene overdoses, addressing the growing prevalence of this synthetic opioid in the drug supply.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) introduced the Nitazene Response Act, which will provide nationwide guidance to improve life-saving nitazene overdose response efforts. “Being 10 to 40 times more potent than fentanyl, nitazenes have slipped relatively unnoticed into Ohio and are endangering our communities," said Congressman Taylor. “We must get dangerous drugs like these off our streets and ensure first responders have the most up-to-date information about nitazenes to inform their life-saving overdose response efforts.” The Nitazene Response Act would require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue evidence-based clinical guidelines for responding to nitazene overdoses. This guidance would contain a description of best practices for emergency departments, hospitals, and rural volunteer emergency medical services systems responding to suspected nitazene overdoses. Background: Nitazenes are a class of synthetic opioids that can be 10 to 40 times stronger than fentanyl and hundreds of times more potent than heroin. Initially developed in the 1950s as an experimental alternative to morphine, nitazenes were ultimately determined to be too powerful and dangerous for medical use. Since 2019, nitazenes have emerged in the U.S. drug supply and are growing in prevalence, both across the nation and the globe. Cheap and powerful nitazenes have been increasingly discovered mixed with other opioids, stimulants, or benzodiazepines in the U.S. to extend the supply of a drug. Reporting by state and local forensic drug laboratories of the National Forensic Laboratory Information System showed a 5x increase in nitazenes across the U.S. since 2020. From 2020 to 2023, the number of yearly nitazene deaths in Ohio rose from 3 to 77. Most discovered nitazenes have been shipped to the U.S. from adversaries like China, making the emerging nitazene crisis both a public health and national security concern. When an individual is having a nitazene-involved overdose, their symptoms present similarly to other types of opioid overdoses. However, because nitazenes are so strong, sometimes it can take several rounds of naloxone and prolonged reversal efforts to revive someone. The Nitazene Response Act will provide needed clarity for responders to ultimately save lives. The full bill text of this bill is available here. ### Issues: Congress Health

Rep. Taylor’s Bill to Expand Appalachian Broadband Services Passes House of Representatives

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today applauded the passage of his bill, H.R. 2474, the Expanding Appalachia’s Broadband Access Act, through the House of Representatives by a voice vote. Congressman Taylor spoke on the House floor in support of his bill prior to its passage. His remarks are available here. “For too long, rural communities like mine in rural southern Ohio have been left behind the modern economy, all because they lack sufficient access to the internet,” said Congressman Taylor. “By embracing innovative technologies like satellite broadband, businesses across Appalachia will be able to see massive economic growth across our region. I’m proud to see the House pass my bill today to finally connect Buckeye families and businesses to the opportunities they need to thrive.” The Expanding Appalachia’s Broadband Access Act will direct a study to be conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on the capabilities of satellites to be used by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) for economic development. This study will measure the capabilities of satellites for rural business services and assess whether they could meet businesses’ needs. It would also require an evaluation of economic development in areas already utilizing satellites for broadband services to determine the increase in resulting economic growth. Lastly, it would analyze the cost-effectiveness of implementing broadband services via satellites, to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. If favorable results are produced from the study authorized by this bill, the Expanding Appalachia’s Broadband Access Act will allow rural businesses and communities seeking to obtain broadband funding through ARC access to new technologies. Background: Large swaths of Ohio’s Second Congressional District lack access to sufficient broadband, severely limiting these rural communities’ ability to connect to the larger economy and adapt to advancing technologies. Although fiber optic cables have historically been the most utilized technology throughout the region, expanding fiber into the challenging terrain of southern Ohio has been costly and difficult. A 2024 study reported three counties in Congressman Taylor’s district as being in the top 150 most off-the-grid locations in the United States. Satellites are a potential solution to this issue, circumventing topographical challenges to provide a sufficient level of broadband access. The ARC is a partnership between the federal and state governments, working with communities in the Appalachian region to create opportunities for self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life. By Congress submitting a request for a study, ARC will have the most up-to-date data, helping to bring broadband to rural communities. Congressman Taylor initially introduced the Expanding Appalachia’s Broadband Access Act on March 27, 2025, and the bill passed through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on January 21, 2026, by a voice vote.

Congressman Taylor Leads Colleagues in Bill to Uncover SNAP Fraud

Position: Congressman Taylor and cosponsors support legislation requiring states to submit detailed SNAP fraud data to the USDA to increase transparency, accountability, and oversight of the program and protect taxpayer funds from fraudulent distribution.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today led his colleagues in introducing the SNAP Fraud Reporting Act, which would require states to submit data on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) fraud that occurred in the past five fiscal years to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and require each state to provide SNAP fraud data going forward. This bill will protect American taxpayers’ benefits, uncover the fraudulent distribution of SNAP funds to ineligible recipients, and enhance transparency and oversight of SNAP funds between states and the federal government. Representatives Lauren Boebert (CO-04), Barry Moore (AL-01), Nancy Mace (SC-01), Tony Wied (WI-08), Wesley Hunt (TX-38), Mark Harris (NC-08), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), William Timmons (SC-04), Russell Fry (SC-07), and Tom Barrett (MI-07) joined Congressman Taylor as cosponsors of this legislation. “Hardworking Ohio families deserve to access the benefits they’ve earned during times of need, not have them siphoned away by fraudsters using deceased individuals’ social security numbers,” said Congressman Taylor. “Under the Biden Administration, SNAP was riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse, and it’s time to put an end to the chaos. I’m proud to push for full transparency to protect these benefits for the vulnerable Buckeyes who need them most, and equip the USDA to hold states accountable to do the same.” “Americans deserve to know that their hard-earned tax dollars are not being wasted on fraud and abuse,” said Congressman Moore. “I want to thank Congressman Dave Taylor for his leadership on the SNAP Fraud Reporting Act, which brings long-overdue transparency and accountability to a system that has too often been exploited. By requiring states to report real data, we can expose the true scope of fraud, hold bad actors accountable, and ensure taxpayer dollars are protected.” "Americans deserve to know how their tax dollars are spent and when they are being stolen. For too long, states ignored SNAP fraud and left taxpayers footing the bill,” said Congresswoman Mace. “This legislation enforces real accountability by requiring states to report all SNAP fraud data to USDA, which reports directly to Congress. States refusing to comply risk losing their administrative funding. No more excuses. This is about transparency, protecting taxpayers, and making sure benefits go to Americans who truly need them, not criminals gaming the system." “The American people deserve to know that their hard-earned tax dollars are being used efficiently,” said Representative Wied. “Unfortunately, in more than twenty states, including my home state of Wisconsin, governors like Tony Evers have chosen to shield SNAP data from the public. The SNAP Fraud Reporting Act is a straightforward, commonsense bill that would require states to report SNAP fraud data so we can crack down on this abuse and take action to prevent it in the future.” “Taxpayers deserve straight answers. SNAP has been run for years with too little oversight and too much fraud—and the people who actually need help are the ones paying the price. The SNAP Fraud Reporting Act forces states to come clean. No more hiding data, no more excuses. If you’re taking federal dollars, you owe the public transparency. This bill brings accountability back to the program and helps ensure benefits go to the right people—not fraudsters,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar. “SNAP fraud undermines the integrity of a program meant to help those truly in need,” said Representative Timmons. “States must be transparent and accountable with taxpayer dollars. The SNAP Fraud Reporting Act ensures we finally get the full picture so we can stop abuse and strengthen the program for those who rely on it.” “The SNAP program was created to help vulnerable communities get back on their feet during hard times,” said Representative Fry. “The government should steward the generosity of taxpayers responsibly while ensuring our neighbors don’t go hungry. Every instance of fraud and overpayment in SNAP is money taken away from vulnerable Americans who depend on the program to meet their nutritional needs. Our bill holds states accountable, cracks down on the abuse of taxpayer dollars, and ensures SNAP serves those it was intended to help.” SNAP is one of the largest programs fully funded by the federal government, yet it is administered at the state or county level. Because of this dynamic, states have had wide decision-making power with little accountability over the distribution of SNAP funds. In February of 2025, USDA Secretary Rollins directed states to share SNAP data, yet nearly one year later, 21 states have failed to disclose this information. In November of last year, Secretary Rollins shared initial data from 29 states showing that 200,000 people with deceased individuals’ social security numbers were receiving SNAP benefits. Until every state produces a report on the distribution of its SNAP funds, it will be unclear to what degree taxpayer benefits have been lost to fraud. Specifically, the SNAP Fraud Reporting Act would require states to submit data on SNAP fraud that has occurred over the past five fiscal years to USDA within 180 days of enactment. This data will outline several items of fraud, including: Total number of fraud cases and the total dollar amount; Number of fraud cases opened for investigation; Number of types of enforcement taken against SNAP fraud; All data on the number of disqualified people who were found to be deceased who received SNAP in each fiscal year; All data on the number of people who used no social security number or falsified, recycled, stolen, or purchased social security numbers; All data on the number of aliens ineligible for SNAP who received benefits. USDA would be required to compile this data and report it to Congress within 180 days. This report would then be required for each fiscal year going forward for states and USDA. If a state refuses to give this information, USDA would be authorized to withhold SNAP administrative funds. The full bill text for the SNAP Fraud Reporting Act is available here.

Rep. Taylor’s Bill to Deport Illegal Alien Fraudsters Passes House of Representatives

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today celebrated the passage of his bill, H.R. 1958, The Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026, through the House of Representatives by a vote of 231-186. This bill will hold illegal aliens accountable for their actions by making the act of defrauding the United States government or stealing benefits intended for U.S. taxpayers a deportable offense, and making illegal aliens who commit or admit to committing this crime ineligible to re-enter the U.S. “It’s a no-brainer – if an illegal alien defrauds the United States or steals benefits from our nation’s most vulnerable, they should be permanently removed from our country,” said Congressman Taylor. “Ohioans work too hard to have their tax dollars and benefits stolen by illegal aliens who shouldn’t even be here in the first place. My Deporting Fraudsters Act will bolster the Trump Administration’s efforts to do just that, and today I’m proud to see it take one step closer toward becoming law.” Congressman Taylor spoke on the House Floor twice this week in support of his Deporting Fraudsters Act. His remarks supporting the rule on the bill are available here, and his remarks urging colleagues to vote in support of the bill are available here. “The number of illegal aliens committing fraud against Americans is ridiculous. Congressman Taylor’s Deporting Fraudsters Act will ensure that foreign nationals defrauding American taxpayers and the country’s immigration system are held accountable,” said Chairman Jim Jordan (OH-04) of the House Judiciary Committee. “Americans who meet eligibility requirements should be the only ones to receive taxpayer-funded benefits. Under the Biden administration’s border policies, abuse of these programs by illegal aliens increased. This bill will stem that abuse. I am pleased to see the House pass it, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to do the same and send it to the President to become law,” said Senator Cruz. “Illegal aliens who falsify documents, steal identities, and cheat the system to gain public benefits meant for American citizens, including SNAP or Medicaid, should unquestionably be deported. By ensuring any illegal alien who defrauds the U.S. government can be removed from our country, this commonsense legislation would end the America-last policies of Joe Biden and rightfully put Americans first,” said Senator Cornyn. “For too long, illegal aliens have taken advantage of and burdened our bloated welfare system, contributing to waste, fraud, and abuse. By some estimates, these individuals receive $42 billion in public benefits every year. This bill will ensure that illegal aliens who steal the tax dollars of hardworking Americans are subject to deportation,” said Senator Lee. “It is more important than ever to ensure that public benefits are focused on U.S. citizens and legal residents. Those who invade our country and then abuse our generosity through fraud and theft should be promptly deported.” "The Deporting Fraudsters Act is a common-sense bill,” said Congressman Kennedy. “Anyone illegally in the U.S. who steals taxpayer dollars through fraud has no place here. Shockingly, the list of crimes that make an alien deportable does not explicitly include defrauding the United States. It’s time to get serious about protecting our nation and closing any vulnerabilities.” “American taxpayers should not be forced to bankroll fraud committed by people who are in this country illegally,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “When illegal aliens defraud the federal government or steal taxpayer-funded benefits, deportation should be the consequence. As a cosponsor of this legislation, I am working to protect taxpayer dollars and uphold the rule of law. This bill puts American citizens and legal residents first.” “Illegal aliens who defraud taxpayers should not be allowed to remain in our country,” Congressman Schmidt said. “The Biden-era border crisis affected every community in our country and cost American taxpayers enormous sums of money. I’m proud to join my colleagues in sponsoring this legislation, which is another important step in undoing the damage done during the four years of the previous administration.” "American taxpayers are sick of footing the bill for illegal immigrants gaming the system and tired of the waste, fraud, and abuse,” said Congresswoman Mace. “If you broke into our country and are stealing from our government, you ought to be deported. This bill puts American workers first and stops the insanity of rewarding criminals with a free ride on the taxpayers’ dime.” “Our taxpayer dollars are already being wasted by the swamp,” said Congressman Gill. “It should be common sense for any illegal alien that defrauds our nation with stolen taxpayer funds to be deported without hesitation. I am proud to cosponsor Rep. Dave Taylor’s bill to protect our national sovereignty.” “Being in the United States illegally is a crime, and so is fraud. Combining the two should leave no gray area,” said Congressman Haridopolos. “The Deporting Fraudsters Act is common-sense legislation that restores accountability, protects taxpayer dollars, and ensures those who blatantly ignore our laws are removed from our country.” “Programs like Medicare and Social Security are vital taxpayer-funded programs and must be safeguarded against fraud. Illegal immigrants who fraudulently enroll and exploit these programs must be held accountable for their crimes,” said Congressman Feenstra. “That’s why I’m glad to support Rep. Dave Taylor’s legislation to ensure that illegal immigrants who defraud taxpayers are deported and never allowed back into our country. I will always protect Iowa taxpayers from fraud and honor our promise to Iowa seniors and workers that they receive the benefits they have earned.” “If you come into our country illegally and steal from American taxpayers, you should not be allowed to stay here,” said Congresswoman Luna. “The Deporting Fraudsters Act closes a dangerous loophole by making benefit fraud and the theft of public funds a deportable offense. In light of the abuses that have come to light in Minnesota, this legislation is vital to protecting taxpayers and holding fraudsters accountable.” “The Deporting Fraudsters Act makes it clear that illegal immigrants who commit fraud or exploit the welfare system will be held accountable and removed,” said Congressman Bost. “This is about protecting taxpayers and making sure our system works for American citizens in need.” “Illegal alien fraudsters are draining taxpayer dollars and taking benefits from American citizens,” said Congressman Carter. “I proudly co-sponsored the Deporting Fraudsters Act because it’s common sense: if you steal from the United States and the most vulnerable in our society, you have no right to be here. I applaud the leadership of Rep. Taylor for working to protect American citizens against waste, fraud, and abuse.” Background Recent reports from the White House Office of Management and Budget estimate that the federal government spends over $1 trillion in welfare and social service programs every year. They also estimate that between $233 billion and $521 billion is lost to fraud each year. In Minnesota, over half of the $18 billion of federal funds allocated to social services, including Medicaid, has been stolen. In California, $181 million was lost to EBT fraud. And in New York, a $120 million Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme was uncovered. The Deporting Fraudsters Act will remove illegal aliens from the United States caught committing these types of fraud and ensure the proper usage of taxpayer benefits.

Farm Bill Passes House Agriculture Committee with Rep. Taylor’s Support

Position: Rep. Taylor supports passage of the Farm Bill, which he states will benefit Ohio farmers and rural communities through broadband expansion, cost reduction for farmers, protection of farmland from solar development, and restrictions on foreign farmland purchases.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Agriculture Committee passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, otherwise known as the Farm Bill, by a bipartisan vote of 34-17. Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) voted to pass this full five-year bill, which contains many of his priorities that support Ohio’s farmers, producers, and rural communities. “I was proud to express my continued support for the men and women who not only feed Buckeye families, but the world, by voting to advance the Farm Bill through the House Agriculture Committee,” said Congressman Taylor. “This bill will build on the historic benefits enacted through the Working Families Tax Cuts and help expand broadband across rural Appalachia, bring down costs for farmers, end the takeover of prime farm land by solar panels, and crack down on adversaries like China buying our precious farmland.” A video of Congressman Taylor’s opening remarks is available here. Below are Congressman Taylor’s bills that were included in the Farm Bill: Rural Broadband Assistance Act to help small, rural Appalachian communities connect to the modern economy Water Infrastructure Assistance Reauthorization Act to provide assistance for rural towns to modernize and update their water infrastructure Rural Wellness Act to help address behavioral and mental health issues in rural America, including substance abuse Protecting American Farmland Act to prohibit funds from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) from being directed toward solar panels on prime farmland Background: On July 4, 2025, the largest investment in America’s agriculture industry was signed into law through President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts: Reduced the cost of crop insurance Doubled agriculture trade programs to send U.S. products around the world Made critical tax deductions permanent, like the Death Tax exemption Invested in animal disease prevention to protect America’s food supply The last full Farm Bill passed by Congress was in December of 2018, otherwise known as the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. Many of the Farm Bill provisions were included in short-term extensions in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to support American farmers, ranchers, producers, and consumers. The bill text of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act is available here. A title-by-title summary is available here. ### Issues: Agriculture Broadband Congress Economy
