Summary

The measure creates narrow grounds—severe medical hardship, out‑of‑state residency, or death—for withdrawing from any elected office after a primary, and sets a September 1 deadline for such withdrawals. It also requires Kansas driver’s licenses and ID cards to display the holder’s citizenship status, gives anyone with a non‑citizen license a provisional ballot if they claim citizenship, and obligates state agencies that register voters and provide public assistance to report quarterly data on non‑citizen benefit recipients. The bill repeals the existing statutes it amends and died on the House calendar.
