This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to respond to state requests for citizenship status information within 30 days, rather than allowing an undefined timeline for responses. The legislation amends existing federal law that permits states to request citizenship data from the Department of Homeland Security for purposes such as voter registration verification. The bill affects state election officials and the federal government's immigration enforcement agencies, as it creates a specific deadline for information sharing. No new funding is allocated in the bill, as it simply establishes a timeframe for complying with existing authority to share information. The measure aims to help states verify whether individuals registering to vote are eligible U.S. citizens.
