MINOR

The bill was amended to add two new data fields that the state must share with multistate voter list maintenance organizations: the DMV ID number and the last four digits of the voter's social security number. This expands the amount of personal information shared with these organizations, potentially affecting voter privacy and data security protocols.

Scope change

The scope of data sharing was expanded to include additional personally identifiable information beyond what was originally specified.

REQUIREMENT

Added requirement to share DMV ID number with multistate voter list maintenance organizations.

Added requirement to share last four digits of voter's social security number with multistate voter list maintenance organizations.

TECHNICAL

Changed language from 'may provide' to 'shall provide' for certain data sharing requirements, making them mandatory rather than optional.
