HB 2245 strengthens Texas' voter registration verification process by requiring the Secretary of State to conduct monthly citizenship checks on voter rolls. The bill mandates that citizenship information be compared against records from state agencies, the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration, and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. Registered voters flagged as non-citizens must provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization certificate, to maintain their voter registration. The measure aims to prevent non-citizens from being registered to vote.
