At the time a citizen applies for or renews a driver license at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) they would be automatically registered to vote unless the citizen opts out of being registered to vote. The amendment clarifies the duties of the DMV and the Secretary of State's office. The DMV and the Secretary of State's office have updated their fiscal analysis that now have the financial impact in year one: of $543,00; year two: $490,000; year three: $553,000 and year four: $563,000. This is in line with the expenses that other states have reported for the implementation of automatic voter registration. Currently 21 states and the District of Columbia (including all of the other New England states) have adopted automatic voter registration. The funding for this program would come from Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds. The dedicated fund for HAVA funds stands at $11.9 million as of 6/30/19 and with the appropriations in the last budget and the 2019 additional HAVA grant the balance will increase to $15.1 million. The state has been notified that it will receive an additional $3,472,912 HAVA grant in 2020 (which will require a $694,582 match). Assuming the state accepts the grant and meets the required match, the balance in the fund would rise to $19.2 million. The state average of spending over the last four years to meet the requirements of the HAVA grant has been approximately $750,000. The cost of implementing and operating the SMART Act over the next four years is under $2.2 million, well within the capacity of the HAVA Dedicated Fund to finance and meets the purpose of the Help America Vote Act."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep.

Because of the extreme expense of this bill which tries to turn New Hampshire into a motor voter state when we are a same day registration state, an amendment was drafted to require Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds to fund the entire bill. Although modifications were made the bill still met significant agency resistance. House Finance was told that a non-partisan group had drafted a better bill that would move our state to online registration. The committee was also told that there were significant bills trying to spend HAVA dollars and the agency would need general fund dollars to pay for elections, which has not been done in our state. Although the bill is written that training and promotional brochures can use HAVA funding and DMV will be able to expend those dollars, the agency testified that they do not expect to do training or produce materials and will be expecting that the Secretary of State will develop both of these. While the Secretary of State did agree, he also pointed out that additional staff, which is not authorized in the bill, would be mandatory. Testimony was also given that it was expected that general fund dollars be appropriated for the support of such staff rather than expecting an on-going use of HAVA funding. Altogether, this bill should probably be turned into a study committee to look at not only the issues raised, but to be able to marry this bill with other bills expending HAVA dollars to ensure that New Hampshire continues to have adequate election funding into the future and that the best and most legal use of federal HAVA dollars is made.

It requires that a person automatically apply to register to vote any time the person applies for a driver's license, a nondriver's picture identification card, or a record change to a driver's license or nondriver's picture identification card with the Department of Safety, Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), unless they decline to submit such registration application. Funding for the provisions of the bill shall be provided by grants received pursuant to the 2018 Help America Vote Act Election Security Award and section 101 of the Help America Vote Act of 2002, Public Law 107-252.\n\nThe DMV is required to electronically submit certain voter registration information, including signature image, to the Secretary of State in a format that the Secretary of State can upload into the Statewide computerized voter registration database and reviewed by election officials. The local clerk or supervisor of the checklist shall be alerted when a new eligible voter has been entered into the statewide centralized voter registration database and the Secretary of State shall also transmit for review any updates to records.\n\nOnce transmitted information is received, the Secretary of State shall send a mailing and pre-paid return to each eligible applicant with instructions on how to adopt a political party affiliation, the registrant's polling location, and a check box to opt out of the registration process.\n\nThe Department of Safety states electronic submittal of the required voter data information on forms used throughout the state would require additional fields and a voter registration opt-out provision. The DMV would not be required to collect or maintain any supporting documentation for the sole purpose of voter registration and any documentation would adhere to license application documentation requirements. No supporting documentation would be transmitted by DMV to the Secretary of State and no validation would be performed by DMV. The DMV would only need to revise paper and online applications, renewals and record change forms for driver licenses an non-driver identifications.\n\nThe DMV assumes that any training needs for DMV staff would be minimal to answer basic voter registration questions and any associated training material would be provided by the Secretary of State's Office. The DMV assumes any ancillary voter materials would likewise be created and supplied by the Secretary of State's Office. Any costs associated with the implementation of the program would be funded by the HAVA program,. The estimated cost for electronic transmittal of the voter registration data would be a one-time design and deployment expense of approximately $220,000, which would be incurred in FY 2021.\n\nThe Secretary of State's Office indicates the DMV would forward information it collects electronically to the Secretary of State, and using ElectioNet (the statewide, centralized voter database), forward for review by the supervisors of the checklist and city and town clerks. The DMV is not required to capture all of the information necessary to complete a voter registration form. Before being distributed to the supervisors of the checklist for processing, the Secretary of State is required to send a mailing to each new voter providing an opportunity to opt out of the voter registration, correct an address, declare a party affiliation and notify the voter of their polling place location.\n\nThe Secretary of State's Office indicates software upgrades will be necessary for ElectioNet to receive voter registration data from DMV. In the first year of implementation, the Office estimates 88,497 individuals will either be identified as new voter registrants, or will be existing voters whose address information from DMV will require reconciliation with election records. This estimate should decline over time as DMV address records and election records match more consistently. Mailings to voters will cost $1.24 each, or $109,736, excluding staff time to process the mailings. Additional HAVA staff time will be required to design and test software, track mail, cleanse data, and draft training manuals for supervisors of the checklist and city and town clerks. The Office anticipates needing 4 full-time staff to fulfill its responsibilities. The Office indicates there will be an indeterminable but potentially significant increase in local expenditures. Estimated Office expenses are calculated below:\n\nEstimated Secretary of State Expenditures\n\nType of Expenditure\n\nFY 2021\n\nFY 2022\n\nFY 2023\n\nFY 2024\n\nAdditional Staff (1 FTE) for mailings\n\n$ -\n\n$ -\n\n$ 70,000\n\n$ 70,000\n\nAdditional Staff (2 FTE) for managing workload at SOS\n\n$ -\n\n$ 185,000\n\n$ 190,000\n\n$ 200,000\n\nAdditional Staff (1 FTE): 1 for HAVA staff time expense\n\n$ 93,000\n\n$ 95,000\n\n$ 100,000\n\n$ 103,000\n\nMailings for DMV registrants\n\n@$1.24 each\n\n$ -\n\n$ -\n\n$ 98,000\n\n$ 100,000\n\nSoftware Upgrades, Changes and\n\nMaintenance\n\n$ 230,000\n\n$ 210,000\n\n$ 95,000\n\n$ 90,000\n\nTotal\n\n$323,000\n\n$ 490,000\n\n$ 553,000\n\n$ 563,000\n\nRSA 5:6-d, III currently prohibits the Department of State from expending moneys in the Election Fund unless the balance in the fund following such expenditures is at least 12 times the estimated annual cost to maintain the programs established to comply with HAVA. The bill changes the required measure from 12 times to 10 times such estimated annual cost of maintaining HAVA programs. the Department of State has indicated that changing this provision may lead to an earlier depletion of the fund, necessitating additional general funds to support ongoing program commitments.\n\nThe New Hampshire Municipal Association assumes more voters will be registered, but fewer will do so in person at the clerk's office, or at supervisor of the checklist sessions, or at the polls on election day. It is unlikely such changes will cause any significant increase or decrease in municipal expenditures and there will be no effect on municipal revenues.\n\nThe bill is effective July 1, 2021 (FY 2022) and it is assumed that no staff will be hired prior to July 1, 2020 (FY 2021).\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nDepartment of Safety, Department of State, Department of Information Technology and New Hampshire Municipal Assocation", "in_text": [], "chars": 17548}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 654:15-a": "/laws/654", "RSA 654:15-b": "/laws/654", "RSA 7:46": "/laws/7#s46", "RSA 294-E": "/laws/294-e", "RSA 654:15-d": "/laws/654", "RSA 654:15-f": "/laws/654", "RSA 654:15-e": "/laws/654", "RSA 654": "/laws/654", "RSA 91-A": "/laws/91-a", "RSA 654:28": "/laws/654#s28", "RSA 654:29": "/laws/654#s29", "RSA 91-A:5": "/laws/91-a#s5", "RSA 260:14": "/laws/260#s14", "RSA 5:6-d": "/laws/5#s6-d", "RSA 659:13": "/laws/659#s13"}, "amends": {"RSA 654": "/laws/654", "RSA 91-A:5": "/laws/91-a#s5", "RSA 260:14": "/laws/260#s14", "RSA 5:6-d": "/laws/5#s6-d"}}
