HR 6102 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to permit a State to include as part of the mail voter registration form a requirement that applicants provide proof of citizenship, and for other purposes.
Summary
HR 6102 would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to allow states to require applicants to provide proof of citizenship on mail voter registration forms. Currently, federal law establishes national voter registration standards for mail-in forms, and this bill would permit states to add a citizenship proof requirement on top of those standards. The bill also includes a technical correction updating a reference from the Federal Election Commission to the Election Assistance Commission. The changes would take effect immediately upon enactment.
