AN ACT CONCERNING A DEADLINE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION PROCESSES AT CERTAIN STATE AGENCIES.

HB 7245 requires Connecticut's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to include voter registration applications with all driver's license, license renewal, and state ID applications starting October 1, 2025. It mandates that applicants attest under penalty of perjury to eligibility requirements (like U.S. citizenship, address, and voting rights) without needing witnesses, while allowing electronic verification of some criteria. The DMV must transmit completed applications to local election officials within specific timeframes, ensuring eligible applicants are registered for upcoming elections. This directly affects all Connecticut residents applying for or renewing driver's licenses or state IDs at DMV offices.
