Filer Voter Act
This bill designates tax return preparers as official voter registration agencies, allowing them to distribute voter registration forms to clients. It requires in-person tax preparers to display registration forms visibly in their offices and online preparers to provide a prominent hyperlink to registration forms during their services. The law applies to professional tax preparers who handle at least 100 individual tax returns annually and to certified volunteer tax preparers receiving federal funding. Tax preparers are exempt from certain administrative duties like accepting completed forms or submitting them to election officials, and the Secretary of the Treasury must provide guidance and update volunteer tax site requirements to support these new responsibilities.
