Summary

The SHIELD Act would make local election officials check every new voter registration against the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services SAVE system. Registrars would flag non‑citizens, send notices for proof of citizenship, and submit yearly reports to the Secretary of State. The law also orders the Secretary of State to compare state voter files with SAVE and to exempt the data from public‑record requests.
