Bill Summary - 25LSO-0796 Bill No.: HB0318 Effective: 7/1/2025 LSO No.: 25LSO-0796 Enrolled Act No.: HEA No. 0062 Chapter No.: 152 Prime Sponsor: Lucas Catch Title: Maintenance of voter lists. Has Report: No Subject: Maintenance of voter lists. Summary/Major Elements: Existing law requires the Secretary of State and the Department of Transportation to enter into an agreement to match voter registration data with information associated with driver's licenses in order to verify the information provided on applications for voter registration. This bill specifies that the information associated with driver's licenses be used to determine if there is any evidence of non ‑ United States citizenship, if any voters listed in the Wyoming voter registration system have subsequently received a driver's license from another state or if there is any other information that indicates that a voter should be ineligible to vote. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to provide the Secretary of State with a list each month of all persons who have indicated a noncitizen status in obtaining a driver's license or identification card. The bill authorizes the Secretary of State to utilize the systematic alien verification for entitlements (SAVE) program to verifying that voters listed in the Wyoming voter registration system are United States citizens. If there is evidence that a voter moved to another state, the bill authorizes the Secretary of State and the county clerk to use any lawful means to investigate and, based on the investigation, the county clerk is authorized to mail a notice of intent to cancel to the elector's registration. The above summary is not an official publication of the Wyoming Legislature and is not an official statement of legislative intent. While the Legislative Service Office endeavored to provide accurate information in this summary, it should not be relied upon as a comprehensive abstract of the bill.
