Bill Summary

This bill requires penalties for false or fraudulent voter registration to be stated on voter registration forms completed on electronic signature pads at Motor Vehicle Commission agency locations. Paper voter registration forms include the following penalty statement: "I UNDERSTAND THAT ANY FALSE OR FRAUDULENT REGISTRATION MAY SUBJECT ME TO A FINE OF UP TO $15,000, IMPRISONMENT UP TO FIVE YEARS, OR BOTH PURSUANT TO R.S.19:34-1." This bill requires that the statement, or substantively the same notice and affirmation of the penalty, is included on the electronic signature pads for Motor Vehicle Commission customers registering to vote.

AI Summary

This bill requires the statement on the penalty for providing false or fraudulent voter registration information to be displayed on the electronic signature pads used at Motor Vehicle Commission agency locations for voter registration. The penalty statement, which is already included on paper voter registration forms, informs applicants that providing false or fraudulent information may subject them to a fine of up to $15,000, imprisonment up to five years, or both. By ensuring this penalty notice is also displayed on the electronic signature pads, the bill aims to make the penalty information more readily available to those registering to vote at Motor Vehicle Commission offices.
