Bill > HB0423

This bill establishes new requirements for voter registration at Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) offices in Utah. Specifically, the bill mandates that when individuals purchase hunting or fishing licenses in person at a DWR office, they will be offered a voter registration form and voter registration information. The lieutenant governor must provide these forms and information to each DWR office. When an applicant is purchasing a license, they will be presented with a statement asking if they would like a voter registration form, with a clear option to decline. If the applicant does not decline, the DWR office must provide them with a voter registration form and direct any registration-related questions to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor or county clerk. Additionally, for individuals purchasing hunting or fishing licenses online, the DWR must provide a link to the state's online voter registration application. The bill defines key terms such as "applicant" and "voter registration information" and is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, with the goal of making voter registration more accessible to individuals engaging with the Division of Wildlife Resources.
