Relating to permitted forms of identification for the purpose of accepting a voter.

SB 1076 amends Texas election law to expand the types of photo identification voters can use when casting ballots. It adds "election identification certificates" as a valid ID option and specifies that certain existing IDs (like driver's licenses, military IDs, passports, and handgun licenses) must not have expired more than one year (for licenses) or four years (for others) before voting. The bill applies only to elections held on or after its effective date, which would be September 1, 2025, unless it receives a two-thirds legislative vote for immediate effect. This change directly affects voters required to show ID at polling places, clarifying which documents meet the state's voting ID requirements.
