The bill amends Section 15.051(a) of the Election Code regarding the process by which a voter registrar confirms a voter's residence. The new language specifies that a registrar must deliver a written confirmation notice to a voter under certain conditions: if the voter's address is a commercial post office box or similar location, if the voter's name is not on the suspense list and they have not voted in any election during the previous 25 months as of November 30 following a general election, or if the registrar has any other reason to believe the voter's current residence differs from what is indicated on the registration records.

The bill removes previous language that allowed for confirmation notices to be sent only if the registrar had reason to believe a voter's residence was different from the registration records. This change broadens the criteria under which a confirmation notice can be issued, ensuring that voters are more accurately verified in terms of their residence status. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
