Requires automatic voter registration process at local police force locations or Division of State Police providing firearms purchaser identification cards.
This bill requires local police departments and the Division of State Police (which issue firearm purchaser ID cards) to implement automatic voter registration for eligible residents. It mandates that these agencies electronically transmit voter registration information to the state Secretary of State, similar to the existing process at New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission. Individuals applying for firearm ID cards would be offered the option to decline automatic registration. The bill directly affects people obtaining firearm purchaser identification cards at participating police locations, expanding automatic voter registration to these new points of contact.
