It doesn't specifically say anything for applying for citizenship, but if you go through the normal citizenship process you have to submit biometric data again.
So the original DREAM Act does vet every applicant carefully. I suppose we will see when the text of the bill is released.

The extra background check at the 5 year point is interesting, but I have a feeling it's their way of selling it as part of "national security"
Overall, I think it's a small price to pay if the extra background check, the medical exam, and the extra time to become a citizen can get this to pass.
We shall see.
