The bill aims to revise voter identification laws in Montana by updating the requirements for voting and provisional voting. A significant change includes the removal of the option for voters to execute a declaration of reasonable impediment when they cannot meet the identification requirements for provisional ballots. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 13-13-114, 13-13-602, and 13-15-107, to reflect these changes.

Additionally, the bill specifies that voters must present valid identification that is current and readable, which can include a Montana driver's license, military identification, tribal photo ID, or a student photo ID from certain educational institutions. It also clarifies the process for provisional voting, including the handling of ballots and the verification of voter identity. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
