The bill amends the Michigan election law by updating the definitions and language used in Section 2 of the law. Key changes include the clarification of terms such as "absent voter," which is now defined as a voter who utilizes the process described in section 759, and "identification for election purposes," which has been expanded to specify various forms of acceptable identification while excluding mobile versions of certain licenses and identification cards. Additionally, the definitions of "general election" and "immediate family" have been included to provide clearer context within the law.

The bill also introduces new legal language that emphasizes the need for specific identification requirements for voters, ensuring that the name on the identification matches the voter's registration record. Furthermore, it stipulates that the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of several other related bills in the 103rd Legislature, indicating a coordinated effort to reform election laws in Michigan.
