Bill > A06037

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 tax returns or transferring residential property. The key provisions include: 1. Adding a voter registration checkbox on income tax returns, real property tax bills, and real estate transfer forms, allowing individuals to register to vote or update their address by checking the box and affirming their eligibility under penalties of perjury. 2. Requiring the Department of Taxation and Finance to electronically transmit voter registration information to the State Board of Elections and local boards, who will then identify and notify eligible but unregistered individuals, providing them the opportunity to register. 3. Authorizing the Department of Motor Vehicles to release electronic signatures to the State Board of Elections and local boards for use as voter registration exemplar signatures. 4. Providing a one-year implementation period for the bill's provisions to take effect.
