What AB 1077 does, verified February 3, 2026

This bill would amend the voting laws to restrict the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) from providing a voter registration opportunity to non-U.S. citizens. When a non-U.S. citizen applies for a driver's license or identification card, they must provide a document demonstrating their non-citizenship. The DMV would not be allowed to provide records of this information to the Secretary of State. This change aims to increase voter registration opportunities for eligible citizens.
