Homeland Security must report new citizens to the states
What the document says“Upon receiving information that an individual has become a naturalized citizen of the United States, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall promptly provide notice of such information to the appropriate chief election official of the State in which such individual is domiciled.”
The duty runs to the state where the new citizen lives. The Act does not say what the state official is to do with the notice.
What the document actually says“Upon receiving information that an individual has become a naturalized citizen of the United States, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall promptly provide notice of such information to the appropriate chief election official of the State in which such individual is domiciled.”
A person becomes a citizen. Homeland Security hears of it. It must pass the word to their state. It must do so fast.
People who become citizens can vote. States may hold old records saying they could not. This bill tells Homeland Security to pass the news on. It must do so quickly. The bill does not say how many days that means.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
