AI Summary

The key changes are: 1) It adds a requirement that a voter must be a "citizen of the state of Idaho," defined as someone who has lived in Idaho for 30 days and intends to live there permanently. 2) It prohibits any person who is not a U.S. citizen from voting in Idaho elections. 3) It clarifies that certain absences from the state, such as for military service or education, do not affect a person's status as an Idaho citizen for voting purposes. The bill also includes an emergency clause, making it effective on July 1, 2024.
