Photo ID requirement to register to vote and to vote requirement; voter identification card and provisional ballot establishment; appropriating money
This bill requires voters in Minnesota to present a photo identification card to register to vote and to cast a ballot, while also establishing a new state-issued voter identification card program. The legislation creates a free voter ID card system where applicants can obtain a certified vital record without fees, and it mandates that the state provide absentee ballots to program participants without requiring them to submit a separate application each election cycle. Additionally, the bill establishes a children's abuse prevention trust fund and includes reporting requirements for vital record requests related to voter ID cards.
