Congress.gov shows H.R.7296, the SAVE America Act, would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and requires photo identification to vote. Tom Barrett is listed among the bill's cosponsors. The bill's latest action remains its Jan. 30, 2026 referral to the House Committee on House Administration, with no passage or enactment shown.

Barrett took a concrete legislative step by cosponsoring the exact bill text, but the measure has only been introduced and referred in the House. By inference from the current Congress.gov status page, there is no newer official action in the June 10-12 lookback window, so the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered.
