lawful presence; public programs; verification

Summary

The bill would tighten verification for voter registration, driver‑license issuance and Medicaid enrollment by demanding documented proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. It adds new notice and inactive‑voter procedures for registrants whose address changes, and mandates that counties and state agencies use the federal Systematic Alien Verification program. The measure failed to become law after passing a Senate committee but not the full legislature.
