The bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes related to voter registration and identification. It requires the supervisor of elections to verify an applicant's citizenship status under specific circumstances, including the verification of driver license numbers and social security numbers. If an applicant's citizenship cannot be verified, they must provide proof of citizenship. Additionally, if false affirmations are detected on a voter registration application, the matter must be referred to the Office of Election Crimes and Security. The bill also establishes that if a registered voter obtains a driver license in another state, it will be considered a written request to remove their name from the voter registration system.

Furthermore, the bill revises the identification requirements at polling places, mandating that certain electors present a Florida identification card if used in their voter registration application. It allows noncitizens to vote using a provisional ballot under specific conditions and requires the supervisor of elections to verify information when a request for a vote-by-mail ballot is received. Lastly, it mandates that licenses and identification cards issued to noncitizens must denote their status with specific markings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
