Original Note:
This bill was introduced last year. Its purpose is to have people show proof of US citizenship when registering to vote by mail. https://www.britt.senate.gov/press-releases/u-s-senator-katie-britt-introduces-legislation-to-help-prevent-noncitizens-from-voting-in-federal-elections/ While illegals are not permitted by law to vote in federal elections they are able to in many local elections. This is just an added safety measure.
