AI Summary

This bill modifies the definition of "acceptable identification" for voter registration and in-person voting. It requires voters to present acceptable identification, such as a Wyoming driver's license, tribal ID, or U.S. passport, immediately before voting at a polling place or absentee polling place. If a voter is unable to present acceptable identification, they may vote by provisional ballot. The bill also requires the Department of Transportation to notify eligible registrants of the identification requirement prior to the expiration of their ID card and waives the fee for an ID card used solely for voter identification purposes.
