AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to withhold part of a state's federal highway funding if the state does not have certain voter registration laws in effect. Starting with the fiscal year after 2026, 10 percent of the state's apportioned funds would be withheld, with an additional 5 percent each year after that. To avoid the cut, a state's laws would have to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or certain IDs with a birth certificate, to register to vote in federal elections. States would also have to offer an alternative process for applicants without these documents, remove noncitizens from voter lists, require mail-in registrants to show proof of citizenship in person, allow lawsuits against election officials who register applicants without proof, and set criminal penalties for doing so.
