S 4099 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires automatic voter registration to be available when applying for certain licenses and permits.

This bill expands automatic voter registration to applicants for specific licenses and permits beyond the existing motor vehicle commission process. It requires agencies like the Division of Fish and Wildlife (for hunting, fishing, or deer permits) and local police/firearm offices (for firearm permits) to automatically register eligible applicants - verifying age, citizenship, and address - unless they opt out. The process mirrors New Jersey’s current motor vehicle commission system, where applicants receive notices about registration and can decline it. This change applies to any agency already collecting eligibility documents, streamlining voter registration during routine license applications.
