What’s in it

This bill requires a license agent, defined as an individual, business, or governmental agency authorized to sell a license to fish, hunt, fur harvest, pursue, catch, kill, take in any manner, use, have possession of, sell, or transport all or part of a wild animal, bird, game, or fish, to display and make available to the public voter registration forms at each location where the license agent sells licenses. The bill also requires a license agent to offer a voter registration form to each person purchasing a license, but prohibits a license agent from assisting the person in completing a voter registration form or collecting a voter registration form. The bill excludes license agents from the definition of “voter registration agency” for purposes of Code chapter 48A (voter registration).
