Senate Bill 2204, also known as House Bill 2185, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, to enhance voter eligibility verification processes. The bill introduces a new subsection (c) to Section 2-2-401, which allows the state's voter eligibility portal to access data from the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, managed by the United States Department of Homeland Security and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS-USCIS). This access is contingent upon DHS-USCIS making the data available through a secure web service.

The bill aims to improve the integrity of the voter registration process by ensuring that only eligible voters are registered, utilizing federal data to verify citizenship status. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
