Bill > S01750

This bill, called the "Taxpayer Voter Registration Act," aims to make it easier for taxpayers to register to vote. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It requires income tax returns to include a check box for taxpayers to indicate their desire to register to vote, along with a statement of eligibility requirements. 2. It requires property tax bills to include a similar check box for voter registration. 3. When a property is transferred, the real estate transfer form will include a check box for the new owner to register to vote. 4. The Department of Taxation and Finance will electronically transmit voter registration information to the State Board of Elections, who will then send a notice to eligible but unregistered individuals, offering them the opportunity to register. 5. The Department of Motor Vehicles will provide electronic copies of taxpayers' signatures to the Board of Elections for use as voter registration signatures. The bill is intended to streamline the voter registration process by integrating it with existing tax and property transfer procedures.
