Requiring the secretary of state to enter into agreements with credit rating agencies for the release of certain information that can be used to verify the citizenship of persons registered to vote in this state.

HB 2143 requires Kansas's Secretary of State to partner with credit rating agencies to obtain personal data (including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and non-citizen IDs) for verifying the U.S. citizenship of registered voters. This directly affects voters whose citizenship status is checked, with county election officers mandated to remove non-citizens from voter rolls and notify them they can re-register by providing citizenship proof. The bill establishes a mechanism where credit agencies' existing data is used to confirm citizenship, replacing current verification methods. It applies to all Kansas voter registrations and takes effect upon publication in the state statute book.
