HR 244 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to urge the United States Congress to enact legislation requiring documentary proof of United States citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, such as House Bill 22 of the 119th Congress, also known as the “SAVE Act.”

HR 244 is a House resolution urging Congress to pass the SAVE Act (H.R. 22), which would require states to verify U.S. citizenship for federal election voter registration. The resolution references the SAVE Act’s key provision: requiring documentary proof of citizenship - such as a passport, birth certificate, or REAL ID-compliant ID - during registration, including through driver’s license offices or mail-in forms. It also mandates states to use DHS data to remove non-citizens from voter rolls and establish processes for resolving citizenship disputes. As a resolution, HR 244 itself does not change law but formally advocates for the SAVE Act’s adoption.
