Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Election Code. Provides that, for each even-numbered year that a general election is to be held, each public institution of higher learning shall send an electronic message to each student enrolled in the institution devoted exclusively to information on voter registration. Sets forth requirements concerning the content of the message and when it should be sent. Provides that the Board of Higher Education shall issue a notice to each public institution of higher learning regarding the requirements of the electronic message in August of each even-numbered year during which a general election is held. Amends the Board of Higher Education Act. Provides that the Board of Higher Education shall include specified information concerning college voter registration on its Internet website. Effective January 1, 2014.

 Fiscal Note (Illinois Board of Higher Education)
 HB 105 creates an administrative burden with an indeterminate fiscal impact. This legislation will place an administrative burden on public institutions and the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE), and requires the IBHE to provide guidance on an issues where no historical expertise exists. As a result, the IBHE would have to closely collaborate with the Illinois State Board of Elections regarding voter registration issues and appropriate voter registration guidance language to be provided to the institutions, and will require diversion from IBHE's central mission and purpose. The institutions' cost of sending emails to students with various links and voter registration is indeterminate and would be measured in terms of staff time and effort required to carry out this mandate.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 HB 105 does not create a State mandate.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that the electronic message shall include a link for a downloadable voter registration application from the State Board of Elections that may be used for any election authority in the State (rather than just a downloadable voter registration application). Provides that the electronic message shall inform the student that he or she may choose to register to vote at his or her campus address or at a prior address in the State if he or she intends to maintain that prior address as a residence.
