AI Summary
This bill, known as the Citizen Vote Protection Act, amends the REAL ID Act of 2005 to require that driver's licenses and identification cards issued by states include an indication of the cardholder's U.S. citizenship, effective January 1, 2027. The bill is based on the recommendation of the bipartisan Carter-Baker Commission that the REAL ID Act should be "modestly adapted for voting purposes to indicate on the front or back whether the individual is a U.S. citizen." The bill also clarifies that it does not establish or mandate the use of a national identification card.
