S.B. No. 1470 mandates the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to share data with the Secretary of State to enhance the maintenance of the statewide voter registration list. The new section, 18.0625, requires the Secretary of State to utilize data from registered voters who apply for a driver's license or personal identification card in another state. This data will help identify voters whose addresses have changed, those who are not qualified to vote, and individuals registered in multiple states.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the DPS must provide any relevant data regarding individuals holding a driver's license or personal identification card in Texas who apply for such documents in other states. The Secretary of State is also authorized to adopt rules and establish procedures for implementing this section in consultation with the DPS. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
