The bill amends sections of the General Laws in Chapter 17-20, titled "Mail Ballots," to enhance the requirements for the validity of mail ballot applications. It mandates that applications must include either the voter's Rhode Island driver's license or state identification number (if unexpired or expired no more than six months prior to the election) or the last four digits of the voter's Social Security number.

Additionally, the bill establishes 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 specifies similar requirements for emergency mail ballot applications.

The act is set to take effect upon passage.
