What’s in it
AI summary If someone shows paperwork proving they are not a U.S. citizen, the Department of Transportation and other agencies cannot count their driver's license or ID application as a voter registration. This rule ensures that non-citizens are not automatically signed up to vote when they apply for state identification.1
Read the official explanation
This bill prohibits the department of transportation and other voter registration agencies from treating applications for driver’s licenses, nonoperator’s identification cards, services, or assistance as applications for voter registration if the applicant submits documentation demonstrating that the applicant is not a citizen of the United States.
