It mandated training for election officials on how to recognize and refuse these specific non-citizen documents for voting purposes. Additionally, the bill required the Department of Finance and Administration to provide monthly reports to the Secretary of State, listing individuals holding these particular non-citizen driver's licenses or identification cards.
