AI Summary
This bill requires county election commissions in Tennessee to verify the eligibility of voter registration applicants by checking them against the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program database, which is a federal system used to confirm immigration status, before adding them to the voter rolls, thereby aiming to prevent non-United States citizens from registering to vote. Additionally, the bill mandates that these election commissions must conduct a comprehensive check of the entire voter registration list against the SAVE database at least once every three months to ensure that any non-citizens who may have been inadvertently registered are removed. This measure is intended to enhance the accuracy and integrity of the voter registration process in Tennessee.
