Digest
HB 1312 requires individuals applying to register to vote in Texas to provide documented proof of citizenship, to the extent allowed under federal law. The bill directs the Texas Secretary of State to establish rules for this requirement and to request changes to federal voter registration forms to include a citizenship verification component. If the federal Election Assistance Commission does not comply, the bill authorizes legal action by the state to enforce these changes.
