The bill amends the Code of West Virginia to clarify voting procedures and the issuance of driver's licenses and identification cards. It establishes that any driver's license or identification card marked with "NC" for noncitizen will not be valid for voting purposes, ensuring that noncitizens cannot use these documents to vote. The bill also allows for driver's licenses or identification cards issued without a photograph to remain valid under certain conditions. Additionally, it outlines acceptable forms of identification for voters and provides procedures for those unable to present valid identification, including the option to cast a provisional ballot.

Moreover, the bill introduces a color-coding system for driver's licenses based on age, distinguishing between drivers under 18, those aged 18 to 21, and adult drivers. It classifies driver's licenses into various categories (Class A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) with specific requirements for each class. The bill also includes provisions for issuing identification cards to individuals over 50 and those over 70, allowing for certain document waivers. Penalties for violations of the bill's provisions are classified as misdemeanors, with fines and potential jail time for repeat offenders, thereby enhancing the integrity of the voting process and identification requirements in West Virginia.
