What this bill is

This is a bill. A bill is a plan for a law. It is not a law yet.

The House of Representatives voted yes on it. The Senate has not voted on it. So it does not change anything yet.

It has 8 parts. They are called sections. It would change an older law about signing up to vote. We have been through all 8 of them. Pick a section below to see what it says.

How the chapter list was built

Section numbers and headings are read from the Government Publishing Office's own text of the engrossed bill, not typed. Every quotation on the site is checked against the section it is attributed to before the site will build. The clerk's endorsement is held separately from the last section so that it cannot be quoted as part of the statute.

The source is the publisher's own PDF. Quotations link to the page they came from. The full document →
