The bill introduces new requirements for driver's licenses and identification cards issued to non-citizens, mandating that these documents have a distinct color and include a statement indicating they cannot be used for voting purposes. This amendment to R.S.39:3-10 aims to enhance the integrity of the voting process by ensuring that non-citizens are clearly identified and that their identification does not confer voting rights. The bill also maintains that the point total required to prove identity for obtaining a standard basic driver's license or identification card remains consistent for all applicants, regardless of immigration status.

In addition to the identification requirements, the bill reinforces the necessity for all voters to present identification when voting, whether by mail, during early voting, or at polling places on election day. It also stipulates that applicants for driver's licenses and identification cards must provide proof of their social security number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number if they do not possess a social security number. The bill emphasizes the confidentiality of personal information collected by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, ensuring that such information will not be disclosed without consent or a legal warrant.
