AI Generated Summary

The legislative bill HF No. modifies the requirements and processes related to voter registration information on applications for driver's licenses and identification cards in Minnesota. Key changes include:

  1. Including a mandatory statement on all applications for driver's licenses and ID cards stating that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote, and warning that voting as a non-citizen is punishable by law, including potential imprisonment, fines, and could lead to deportation in some cases.

  2. Adjustments to requirements for noncompliant driver's licenses or identification cards where the applicant is not required to demonstrate U.S. citizenship or lawful presence in the U.S. However, if citizenship or legal status is demonstrated, this information must be recorded and can only be used to improve the accuracy of voter registrations.

These changes aim to clarify voter eligibility and reinforce the legal consequences of unlawful voter registration and voting, while addressing the management of civil documentation for individuals in Minnesota.
