House Bill No. by Representative McMakin aims to establish a notice of voting restrictions and a restriction code for individuals who are not United States citizens and aliens lawfully present in the U.S. but have not attained citizenship. The bill enacts R.S. 32:414.6, which prohibits the Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) from issuing state identification cards or driver's licenses to these individuals unless the credentials include a restriction code. Additionally, the OMV is required to send an official notice to these individuals, informing them of their voting restrictions under Louisiana law, which states that non-citizens are not allowed to register or vote in the state. The notice must also include translations in several languages, including French, Hindi, Mandarin, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the OMV to adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement these requirements, including procedures for determining an individual's citizenship and immigration status. If the OMV's system cannot accommodate the new restriction codes, any system upgrades must ensure compliance with the bill's requirements. The legislation also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the Act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The Department of Public Safety and Corrections is directed to imprint the restriction code on applicable credentials once the system is updated.
