What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
