A 4142 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires voter registration forms be made available when applying for hunting, fishing, or trapping license.

This bill (A 4142) requires New Jersey's Division of Fish and Wildlife to provide voter registration forms when issuing hunting, fishing, or trapping licenses. It mandates that license applicants receive a form to register to vote, along with an opt-out form explaining that declining won't affect their license or assistance. The opt-out form includes key protections: confidentiality of the decision, no impact on benefits, and instructions for seeking help or reporting interference. This applies directly to people obtaining these licenses, making license offices a new point for voter registration outreach. The bill is currently in the Assembly committee stage (introduced April 4, 2024).
