Relating to: forms of proof of identification for voting.
AB 379 defines which state-issued identification documents qualify as valid proof for voting. It specifies that a driver's license or ID card issued by any state, meeting federal standards under the Real ID Act (P.L. 109-13), satisfies voting ID requirements. The bill does not create new voting rules but clarifies existing eligibility by adding this definition to state statutes. It directly affects voters needing to present ID at polling locations and election officials verifying ID compliance. The bill was introduced by multiple legislators and referred to the Campaigns and Elections Committee in 2025.
