Bill > HB2437

This bill, known as the SAVE Kansas Act, aims to enhance the accuracy of voter registration records by authorizing the use of additional resources and establishing new procedures. It mandates periodic comparisons of the statewide voter registration system with the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, which is a system used to verify non-citizen status for government benefits. The bill requires state agencies that provide public assistance to report information on non-citizen recipients quarterly to the Secretary of State. It also imposes restrictions on which websites can accept and transmit voter registration applications, requiring them to use a ".gov" domain or be specifically approved by the Secretary of State, and mandates secure data transmission and protection. Furthermore, the bill outlines procedures for removing individuals who are confirmed to be ineligible to vote from voter registration records, including non-citizens and those who have moved out of state, while also establishing an exemption from public records requests for certain information related to these verification processes to protect personal data.
