Ends federal order on checking citizenship for federal elections

This bill would stop a federal order that requires checking citizenship for federal elections. It would prevent government agencies from carrying out any activities related to this order or using funds for it. This means agencies would no longer be involved in these specific citizenship verification efforts.

What Would Change

Today, Executive Order 14399 is active, allowing federal agencies to work on citizenship verification for federal elections and enter into related contracts. If this bill becomes law, Executive Order 14399 would be invalid, and agencies would be blocked from using funds or continuing any activities or contracts related to it.

Key Provisions

Ends Executive Order 14399, which deals with checking citizenship for federal elections.
Blocks federal agencies from using any money for activities related to Executive Order 14399.
Cancels any existing contracts or agreements federal agencies have to carry out Executive Order 14399.
