Bill > SF120

This bill requires the Minnesota Secretary of State to amend existing election rules to allow voters to use a medical bill as a valid proof of residence when registering to vote on election day. Currently, voters must provide specific documentation to prove they live in the precinct where they are voting. The bill mandates that the rule change must be implemented no later than January 1, 2026, and allows the Secretary of State to use a "good cause exemption" to expedite the rule-making process, which means they can bypass some standard administrative procedures for adopting new rules. The purpose of this bill appears to be expanding the types of acceptable documentation that voters can use to verify their residential address, potentially making it easier for individuals to register and vote on election day. The bill will become effective immediately after it is signed into law, giving the Secretary of State the authority to begin implementing the rule change.
