Creates provisions requiring realtors and landlords to provide new residents with voter registration packets
HB 2853 requires realtors and landlords to provide new residents in Missouri with a voter registration packet at the time of lease signing or home purchase. The packet must include a voter registration form, instructions for completing it, and a clear explanation that already-registered voters must file a change of address for their county. This applies directly to property professionals (realtors and landlords) who serve new residents, mandating them to distribute this information as part of standard transaction procedures. The bill does not create new voter registration processes but standardizes the delivery of existing registration materials to new occupants.
