2014 Bill(s)

HCS HJR 47
Sponsor: Cox, Stanley
Status: S 3rd Read
Description: Allow the legislature to require a photo ID to vote. Died in a Senate agreement to not bring it up to avoid a filibuster. An extended lawsuit blocked a similar provision approved by the legislature in 2011 from being placed on the ballot, SJR 2.
See: 
  • House roll call - HCS HJR 47 (02/25/2014): Perfection of a constitutional amendment that would authorize the legislature to require a photo ID to vote.
  • House roll call - HCS HJR 47 (02/27/2014): 3rd reading of a constitutional amendment to authorize the legislature to require a government-issued photo ID to vote.

    • Note: The descriptions of bills, amendments and roll-call votes are written by MDN journalists. MDN's database may not include committee assignments of bills made on the last day of the session since it is too late for the committee to act on the bill and, thus, the delayed assignment has no practical effect.
