This bill amends existing law to mandate that the Secretary of Homeland Security promptly respond to state requests for information concerning an individual's citizenship status, with its primary goal being to facilitate the verification of voter eligibility by providing states with necessary immigration data. Specifically, the legislation requires the Department of Homeland Security to furnish the immigration status of individuals appearing on a list of potential voters. This information must be provided to a State Attorney General or Secretary of State within 15 days of receiving such a request, thereby enhancing states' ability to ensure that only eligible citizens participate in elections.
