AI Summary
This bill requires that voter registration forms and declination forms, which allow individuals to choose whether or not to register to vote, be made available at any agency or office that issues hunting, fishing, or trapping licenses under the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife. The bill amends existing law to add these license-issuing offices to the list of "voter registration agencies" where such forms must be provided. Employees at these locations will be required to ask individuals applying for these licenses if they wish to register to vote, inform them that their decision will not affect their license eligibility, and provide assistance in completing the necessary forms. The bill also specifies that employees must not influence an applicant's political choices or discourage them from registering, and that any decision not to register will be kept confidential and used solely for voter registration purposes.
