Bill > HB981

This bill amends Pennsylvania election laws to establish a new process for government service facilitation related to voter registration. The legislation requires that when a commission receives a voter registration application, it must provide the applicant's full name and address to the state department within 30 days, and also share this information with relevant political subdivisions. The department must then forward this information to the Departments of Revenue, Human Services, and Transportation. Each voter registration application will now include a notice that the applicant's personal information will be shared with these agencies to ensure the individual's full access to rights and responsibilities associated with their residence. The bill mandates that recipient agencies determine if the applicant meets residency requirements for their services and communicate relevant rights and responsibilities to the applicant. This process aims to streamline voter registration and ensure that new voters can more easily access government services based on their place of residence. The new provisions will take effect 60 days after the bill's enactment.
