Urges US Senate to pass federal "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act."
This is a procedural resolution (SJR 87), not a bill with new laws. It urges the U.S. Senate to pass the federal "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act," which would require states to verify U.S. citizenship with documents (like passports, birth records, or REAL ID-compliant IDs) when registering voters for federal elections. The resolution cites cases where noncitizens were mistakenly registered due to system errors in states like Pennsylvania, California, and Illinois. New Jersey's legislature supports this federal action to strengthen election security and public confidence in voter eligibility.
