This bill proposes updates to current voter registration statutes by establishing a clear procedure for county recorders to follow when they receive information indicating that a registered voter has not provided satisfactory documentary proof of citizenship. Specifically, it mandates that if a county recorder receives such information from the motor vehicle division, they must notify the voter within 60 days. The notice will inform the voter that failure to provide satisfactory proof within 35 days will result in their registration status being changed to "not registered," making them ineligible to vote until valid proof is submitted. Additionally, it clarifies that voters registered before January 24, 2005, are exempt from providing proof unless they register in a different county.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that if a voter fails to provide the required proof of citizenship after the next general election, their registration will be canceled. The proposed changes also include an emergency clause, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage, and it will be repealed after December 31, 2026. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the verification process for voter registration while ensuring compliance with citizenship requirements.
