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 a requirement for certain identification cards and driver licenses to 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 specific sections of the law to incorporate the amendments made, particularly those related to the identification requirements for first-time voters and the definition of a "color photographic driver license." The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
