Summary

The law adds automatic voter registration and preregistration to applications for driver’s licenses, ID cards, Medicaid enrollment and other designated services. Applicants can choose not to register by checking a box, and non‑citizens receive a warning that registration could lead to penalties. Agencies must transmit the information electronically to the state board of elections and follow new training and accessibility requirements.
