SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
The parent bill sets the federal budget for the next decade. This amendment creates a pathway for Congress to pass future laws requiring specific forms of identification to register or vote in federal elections, as well as changing how ballots are counted, as long as those changes do not increase the national debt.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
