What this bill does
The bill would require voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in state elections, and voters who do not provide it would get a ballot only for federal races. It would also let the lieutenant governor contract with a third party to maintain voter rolls, require registration with the federal SAVE citizenship-check program, and remove people from voter rolls when evidence they are not citizens is found and not refuted.
