The bill amends sections of the General Laws in Chapter 17-20, titled "Mail Ballots," to establish new requirements for the validity of mail ballot and emergency mail ballot applications. Specifically, it mandates that all applications must include proof of the voter's date of birth and either a Rhode Island driver's license number or a state identification number.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, 17-20-2.1, which outlines the requirements for the validity of mail ballot applications, and a new section, 17-20-2.2, which details the requirements for emergency mail ballot applications.

The act is set to take effect upon passage, aiming to enhance the verification process for voters applying for mail ballots and ensuring that only eligible voters can receive them.
