Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses immigration-enforcement by creating heightened state criminal penalties tied to unauthorized alien status for voter-related offenses and by updating the voter oath to emphasize citizenship verification and deportation consequences; no provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
