CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 730 - Under current law, registered voters must produce certain types of personal identification at the polls in order to receive a ballot. This act changes the law by requiring voters to produce photographic identification to receive a ballot. Election authorities will no longer be allowed to accept, as valid identification, a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or any other form of identification that does not include a photograph of the voter. This act also requires the election authorities of the state to issue an official photographic voter identification card to any registered voter, free of charge, if the voter cannot acquire alternative photographic identification.
