HM 825 Summary

• Requests Congress amend the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to allow states to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship from voters using the Federal Form, overturning the 2013 Supreme Court decision in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc.

• Urges Congress to amend the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) and Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) to grant states immediate access to the SAVE program database for verifying immigration status of voter registration applicants.

• Requests clarification that the 90-day election period restriction in the NVRA does not prevent removal of noncitizens from voter registration rolls within 90 days before an election and that noncitizens may be removed at any time under general removal provisions.

• Cites an estimated 11 million to 20 million unlawfully present aliens in the United States as justification for strengthening state authority to prevent noncitizen voter registration.

• Requires copies of the memorial to be sent to the President, Congressional leadership, and all members of the Florida delegation to Congress.
