Immigration (Citizenship & Naturalization)

This bill requires Montana's Secretary of State to verify the U.S. citizenship status of all registered voters and remove those who are not citizens from the voter rolls. It mandates that new voter applicants provide documentary proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, with limited exceptions for specific alternative IDs. The law also directs officials to notify voters whose citizenship status cannot be immediately confirmed and give them a chance to provide proof before their names are removed.

SB 91 requires driver's licenses and identification cards issued in Montana to display an individual's U.S. citizenship status. Beginning January 1, 2026, an image of an eagle will be included on these cards for applicants who are United States citizens. This change affects all U.S. citizens applying for or renewing a driver's license or identification card in Montana.
