Bill > SF38

This bill modifies voter registration information requirements for driver's license and identification card applications in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill requires that all applications must now include a clear statement warning that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote, and that voting while ineligible is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both, with potential deportation consequences. Additionally, for noncompliant driver's licenses and identification cards, the bill changes the existing rules to require that applicants be asked about their U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, and mandates that the commissioner or driver's license agent record whether citizenship or lawful presence was demonstrated and which documents were provided. The collected data can only be used to improve the accuracy of voter registration records. These changes aim to provide clearer information about voting eligibility and ensure more accurate tracking of citizenship status during the driver's license and identification card application process.
