Bill > HB2437

This bill aims to enhance the accuracy of voter registration records by authorizing the use of additional resources and processes for verification and removal of ineligible individuals. It mandates that the Secretary of State conduct comparisons of the statewide voter registration system with the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database twice annually, ensuring one check occurs at least 180 days before a federal general election, and then transmits any potential noncitizen matches to county election officials for review. County election officials are required to notify voters before cancellation, place them in a challenged status, confirm their citizenship, and ultimately remove those confirmed to be ineligible from the voter rolls. The bill also establishes an annual reporting requirement to legislative committees on the outcomes of these verification processes and makes certain information related to these checks confidential, exempting it from public disclosure under the open records act, to protect personally identifiable information.
