What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the administrator of the Elections Commission to enter

into an agreement with the secretary of transportation to match personally

identifiable information on the official voter registration list with the information

maintained by the Department of Transportation. Under this bill, the agreement

with the secretary of transportation must also provide the commission access to

personally identifiable information maintained by DOT in order to verify that

individuals on the official registration list are U.S. citizens. In addition, the bill

requires the commission to conduct the verifications as soon as practicable after the

effective date of the bill and immediately whenever an individual registers to vote

or modifies his or her registration.

The bill also requires DOT to place on the face of an operator's license or

identification card issued to a person who is not a U.S. citizen the words “Not valid

for voting purposes” or another readily recognizable indication that the license or

identification card may not be accepted for voter identification purposes.
