HB0157H2001

This amendment modifies the definition of acceptable proof of United States citizenship for voter registration by changing how out-of-state driver's licenses and identification cards are verified.

• Changes the verification standard for out-of-state driver's licenses and identification cards under the REAL ID Act. Instead of requiring that the license 'indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States,' the amendment requires only that the license 'does not include any indication that the person is not a United States citizen.' This creates a negative verification standard (absence of non-citizenship indication) rather than a positive one (presence of citizenship indication). (Page 3, lines 11-12)
