Assembly Bill 1175 proposes an amendment to the current law regarding the use of student identification cards for voting purposes in Wisconsin. Under existing regulations, a student ID must have an expiration date that is no later than two years after its issuance. The bill seeks to extend this period, allowing student IDs to remain valid for up to six years from the date of issuance, provided that the individual can demonstrate their enrollment at the respective university or college on the day they present the ID for voting.

The specific legal language being amended is found in section 5.02 (6m) (f) of the statutes, where the phrase "expires no later than 2 years" is replaced with "expires no later than 6 years." This change aims to make it easier for students to use their identification for voting, potentially increasing participation among younger voters.
