Informing the Legislature that on May 29, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2239 SD1 HD1 CD1 (ACT 067).

This bill mandates that all applicants for driver's licenses or state identification cards in Hawaii must complete a voter registration form as part of their application process. The key mechanism is automatic voter registration, where eligible individuals are added to the voter rolls unless they explicitly decline on the application form. The law also requires applicants to provide proof of U.S. citizenship during this process, with information transmission to election officials blocked if citizenship cannot be verified. This change directly affects all residents seeking a driver's license or ID card by integrating voter registration into the standard issuance procedure.
