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. Specifically, it modifies section 97.0535 to state that these forms of identification are considered current and valid if they contain the applicant's name and photograph and have not expired. Additionally, the bill 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, as outlined in sections 322.051 and 322.14.

Furthermore, the bill reenacts sections 101.6921 and 101.6923 to ensure that the amendments made to section 97.0535 are incorporated into the provisions regarding special vote-by-mail ballots for certain first-time voters. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to clarify identification requirements for voters while also addressing the identification of noncitizens in the state of Florida.
