relative to proof of United States citizenship for indigent voters.

HB 365 creates a process for voters without proof of U.S. citizenship to verify their status and access assistance. It requires election officials to check state/federal databases for citizenship verification (except on election day if it disrupts voting), and for indigent voters who cannot afford a birth certificate, it provides vouchers to cover the cost. Local municipalities receive reimbursement from the Secretary of State for voucher expenses, with $25,000 appropriated annually for fiscal years 2026-2027. The bill directly affects low-income voters unable to obtain citizenship documentation, removing a financial barrier to voting. It does not change citizenship requirements but establishes a concrete pathway for verification and assistance.
