Bill > S00680

This bill, known as the "Taxpayer Voter Registration Act," aims to make voter registration more accessible by allowing taxpayers to register to vote or update their address when filing their taxes or changing their residential property. The bill amends several laws to achieve this, including the Tax Law, the Real Property Tax Law, and the Vehicle and Traffic Law. Key provisions include: requiring income tax returns to include a voter registration checkbox, requiring property tax bills to include a voter registration checkbox, and requiring the Department of Taxation and Finance to electronically transmit voter registration information to the State Board of Elections and local boards of election. The bill also outlines the process for notifying eligible but unregistered individuals and providing them with the opportunity to register or decline registration.
