Bill > HF99

This bill requires voter identification cards, driver's licenses, and nonoperator's identification cards issued or renewed after the bill's effective date to include an indication of the cardholder's citizenship status in the United States. Specifically, the bill mandates that when individuals apply for or renew these documents, they must indicate whether they are U.S. citizens and, if so, provide proof of citizenship. For voters, this means that if their identification does not clearly show their citizenship status, they will need to present additional documentation proving they are U.S. citizens when voting. The bill affects multiple sections of Iowa's state code related to voter identification and transportation-issued identification, ensuring that citizenship status is explicitly noted on these official documents. The changes will apply to all voter identification cards, driver's licenses, and nonoperator's identification cards that are applied for, issued, or renewed on or after the bill's effective date, effectively creating a new requirement for documenting citizenship across these forms of identification.
