What’s in it
AI summary New driver's licenses and ID cards will show if a person is a U.S. citizen. If a person's ID does not show their citizenship status, they must show other paperwork to prove they are a citizen when they go to vote.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires voter identification cards, driver’s licenses, and nonoperator’s identification cards applied for, issued, or renewed on or after the effective date of the bill to include an indication of whether the person identified on the card is a citizen of the United States. The bill also requires a voter to present documentation indicating whether the voter is a citizen of the United States if the voter’s form of voter identification does not indicate whether the voter is a citizen of the United States. Under current law, other accepted forms of voter identification include a United States passport, a United States military or veterans identification card, or a tribal identification card.
