SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Registered voters; citizenship; SAVE Program. Authorizes the State Board of Elections to apply to participate in the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program (SAVE Program) operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The SAVE Program enables access to immigration status and citizenship status information possessed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. If the application is approved, the State Board will utilize the SAVE Program for the purposes of verifying that voters listed in the Virginia Voter Registration System are United States citizens and shall promulgate rules and regulations governing the use of the immigration status and citizenship status information received from the SAVE Program. The bill also requires that when a person applying for a license, permit, or identification card from the Department of Motor Vehicles presents a document to prove legal presence other than citizenship, the Department shall record the applicant's document number and provide this number on the monthly list of noncitizens submitted by the Department to the State Board.
