This bill aims to significantly limit federal agency involvement in voter registration and mobilization efforts. It explicitly prohibits agencies from using funds to solicit or enter into agreements with nongovernmental organizations to conduct voter registration or mobilization activities, including distributing materials or applications, on agency property or websites. The legislation also places restrictions on activities directed under Executive Order 14019 , stating that federal funds cannot be used for its implementation until agencies submit specific reports to Congress, with a potential 180-day delay. It clarifies that E.O. 14019, or similar executive orders, will have no force or effect if inconsistent with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Additionally, the bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to ensure that Federal Work-Study programs do not involve voter registration or mobilization activities.
