Bill > HR1037

This bill, known as the Voter Eligibility Verification Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to promptly respond to state-level requests about an individual's citizenship status, specifically when states seek verification of potential voters' immigration status. The bill amends Section 642(c) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 by mandating that the Department of Homeland Security provide requested immigration status information to state Attorneys General or Secretaries of State within 15 days of receiving such a request. This legislative change aims to enhance states' ability to verify voter eligibility by ensuring quick access to federal immigration status data, which could help prevent non-citizens from potentially voting in elections. The bill represents an effort to strengthen voter roll accuracy and compliance with citizenship requirements at the state level.
