HB 2437
Outcome: passed
AFL-CIO Key Vote: OPPOSE
Criminalizing Union Voter Registration Websites
This bill makes it a criminal misdemeanor to operate a voter registration website without a .gov domain or personal approval from the Secretary of State. Unions and civic organizations that help members register to vote through their own websites or third-party platforms like Vote.org would face criminal penalties. The bill also creates a government database of noncitizen public assistance recipients and requires cross-checking voter rolls against a federal database known for flagging naturalized citizens by mistake.
