House Bill 2185 and Senate Bill 2204 propose an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, concerning voter eligibility. 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 enhance the verification process for voter eligibility by utilizing federal data resources. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that voter registration processes are accurate and secure.
