The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding voter registration by allowing county recorders to place a person's voter registration information in a "paused status" upon receiving information that raises reasonable doubts about the accuracy of that person's registration details. This new provision would enable the county recorder to notify the individual of this action, ensuring transparency in the process. The bill also clarifies that "paused status" is a temporary designation within the statewide voter registration database.

Additionally, the bill specifies that voters in paused status retain the right to vote in any election for which they are eligible, provided they supply the county recorder with the necessary corrective information. This change aims to enhance the integrity of voter registration while still allowing individuals the opportunity to participate in elections. The bill would take effect on the general effective date if passed.
