Digest
SB 146 requires county voter registrars to automatically register newly naturalized U.S. citizens upon receiving notification of naturalization from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The bill also establishes procedures for handling instances where USCIS does not notify registrars, allowing individuals to present their naturalization certificates directly to the registrar. The Department of Public Safety is tasked with coordinating information transfer between USCIS and registrars, and the Secretary of State may adopt rules to implement these provisions.
