Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2025
The Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2025, provides funding for federal agencies through March 28, 2025, while including the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) as its key policy component. The SAVE Act requires voters to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering for federal elections, defining acceptable forms including passports, military IDs, birth certificates, and naturalization documents. It mandates states to verify citizenship using government databases like the SAVE system and remove non-citizens from voter rolls, with processes for those without standard proof of citizenship. This directly affects all voters registering for federal elections in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
