Requires automatic voter registration to be available when applying for certain licenses and permits.
This bill expands automatic voter registration to applications for specific licenses and permits, including hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses, all around sportsman licenses, beaver trapping permits, wild turkey permits, deer permits, and firearms purchaser identification cards. Agencies like the Division of Fish and Wildlife and local police departments would automatically register eligible applicants to vote when they apply for these licenses, similar to the existing process at the Motor Vehicle Commission. Applicants would receive clear notices about the automatic registration option and be offered the chance to decline it. The bill requires these agencies to implement procedures for electronically transmitting voter registration information to the Secretary of State, building on current requirements already in place for the Motor Vehicle Commission.
