HB 2437

This bill makes it a criminal misdemeanor to operate a voter registration website that doesn't have a .gov domain or personal approval from the Secretary of State — directly threatening the online voter registration tools unions use to sign up members. It also creates a new government database tracking noncitizen public assistance recipients, which could discourage immigrant workers in meatpacking and other union industries from accessing benefits they're entitled to. The legislature voted to override the Governor's veto, locking these restrictions into law.
