House Bill 124 would amend 34-1113, Idaho Code, to repeal subsection 4, which allows "a current student identification card" to be used as a form of ID when voting in person. This change should improve the security of elections by requiring voters to present a form of ID that includes critical information such as address and birthdate, which might not be included on a student ID.
