Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act

This bill would require people running for federal office to say if they are also a citizen of another country. They must include this information—naming the other country—on their statement of candidacy, the form that collects basic info and names their main campaign committee. The change takes effect as soon as the bill becomes law.

• Who is affected: Candidates for federal office, not including nominees for Vice President
• What changes: Candidates must disclose any non-U.S. citizenship, including which country, in their candidacy paperwork
• When: The requirement starts on the date the law is enacted

In practice, this means voters would have clear information if a candidate has dual citizenship when they file to run for office.
