Assembly Bill 379 proposes an amendment to the current voting identification requirements in Wisconsin. Under existing law, individuals must present proof of identification that includes their name and a photograph. The bill expands the list of acceptable forms of identification to include a valid operator's license or identification card that meets federal REAL ID standards and is issued by any state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, or any other U.S. territory.

The specific legal language added to the statutes is found in Section 1, which creates a new provision under 5.02 (6m) (a) 5. This addition clarifies that the operator's license or identification card must comply with the requirements outlined in federal law, specifically P.L. 109-13, sections 201 and 202. This change aims to enhance the accessibility of valid identification for voters while ensuring compliance with federal standards.
