The bill amends Florida statutes to expand the list of acceptable forms of identification for voter registration applicants to include United States passport cards and United States Merchant Mariner Credentials. It also introduces new requirements for identification cards and driver licenses, mandating that they display the letters "NC" to indicate that they have been issued to noncitizens. This change aims to enhance the identification process for voters and ensure clarity regarding the citizenship status of individuals holding these forms of identification.
Additionally, the bill reenacts certain sections of the law to incorporate these amendments, specifically relating to the requirements for voters who must submit identification before voting and the definition of a "color photographic driver license." The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
