Relating to voting eligibility. Providing that only legal resident citizens who are at least 18 years of age or older who reside in the place they claim as a domicile shall be eligible voters.
This bill aims to change the rules on who can vote. It proposes that only legal U.S. citizens who are at least 18 years old and live in the place they consider their main home can vote. This means if you move to a new state but still consider your old home your main residence, you might not be able to vote in the new state.
This bill would affect all legal U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. If passed, it would limit voting rights to those who live in their declared main home. People who move temporarily or frequently might be impacted if they can't prove their new place is their main home.
The bill was introduced on January 17, 2025, and referred to the Election Law Committee. There have been several committee meetings and hearings, but no final decision has been made yet. The latest update is a scheduled executive session on September 16, 2025, at 10:15 am.
