Bill > A2485

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to designate agencies or offices that provide hunting, fishing, or trapping licenses as "voter registration agencies," meaning they must now offer voter registration forms and instructions to individuals applying for these licenses. This change ensures that when someone applies for a hunting, fishing, or trapping license, they will be asked if they wish to register to vote and will be provided with assistance to do so, or to decline to register, without affecting their eligibility for the license. The bill also mandates that these forms be available in both English and Spanish in counties requiring bilingual election materials, and that employees assisting with voter registration must not influence an applicant's political choices or suggest that their decision to register or not will impact their license application.
