Bill > SB0153

This bill amends election laws to include a warning statement on the first page of various petitions, informing signers that their voter identification number and the date they signed may be publicly disclosed, even if they are an "at-risk voter" (meaning their voter registration record is classified as private due to specific circumstances like domestic violence or being a public figure). This warning is added to petitions for municipal consolidation, disincorporation, incorporation, county seat changes, county consolidations, new county creation, adoption of optional county plans, repeal of optional county plans, special district creation, special district withdrawal, special district dissolution, local building authority bonds, political party registration, candidate nominations, and school district boundary changes. The bill also makes several changes related to voter registration, including the classification of voter registration records as private or public, the process for preregistering to vote, and the information collected on voter registration forms and driver license applications, with some provisions taking effect on April 6, 2026, and others on May 25, 2026.
