Requires automatic voter registration process at agency or office providing hunting, fishing, or trapping license.
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies that issue hunting, fishing, or trapping licenses (specifically the Division of Fish and Wildlife) to automatically register eligible voters during license applications, mirroring the existing process at the Motor Vehicle Commission. Agencies would collect existing license application information (like age, citizenship, and address) and automatically transmit it to the voter registration office, but applicants would be given the option to decline registration. The bill mandates these agencies follow the same procedures and notice requirements as the Motor Vehicle Commission for automatic voter registration, without changing current eligibility rules.
