AI Summary
This bill, titled the Citizen Vote Protection Act, amends the Real ID Act of 2005 to require that a person's citizenship status be indicated on any driver's license or identification card issued by a state on or after January 1, 2026. The bill cites findings from the bipartisan Carter-Baker Commission, which recommended that the Real ID Act be "modestly adapted for voting purposes to indicate on the front or back whether the individual is a U.S. citizen." The bill also includes a rule of construction stating that it does not establish or mandate the use of a national identification card.
