Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses ID documents in two distinct ways: one provision expands acceptable forms of ID for voter registration (relevant to transgender/id-documents via broader recognition of identity documents), while the other requires special markings on IDs for noncitizens (also under transgender/id-documents as it affects official records and sex/gender marker contexts in state IDs, though primarily citizenship-related). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
