10 ILCS 5/1A-16.8
625 ILCS 5/2-105from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 2-105

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Election Code. Provides that whenever a designated government agency serves a member of the public, the agency shall inform the individual of the qualifications to register to vote in Illinois and provide an opportunity to attest to meeting those qualifications. Provides that the employee of the agency shall notify the individual that his or her personal information shall be transferred to the State Board of Elections and the appropriate election authority for the purpose of creating an electronic voter registration application, and that the individual will only be registered to vote if he or she meets the qualifications to register to vote in Illinois. Requires the agency to transfer the personal information, including all records of documents relating to identity, address, or citizenship, for every applicant regardless of whether the individual executed an attestation. Establishes procedures for the Board to process the voter registration information provided. Provides for what notices shall be mailed to the applicant and procedures for the State Board of Elections to process the voter registration data and in cases of accidental or inadvertent registration. Provides that certain information provided by the applicant is confidential. Requires the Board, election authorities that maintain a website, and designated government agencies to provide information concerning the new registration procedures. Requires the State Board of Elections to hold at least one public hearing on implementing the amendatory Act. Provides that certain shall be implemented no later than July 1, 2017 for designated government agencies maintained by the Secretary of State and no later than January 1, 2018 for all other designated government agencies maintained by the State.

Makes changes to the notice that must be given to persons applying at a driver services facility of the Secretary of State. Makes other changes.

 Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Office of the Secretary of State)
 Because of the delayed implementation date in SB250 (H-AM 2) and due to compliance with SB172 (Public Act 98-1171), we estimate no additional fiscal impact at this time.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB 250, (H-AM 2) would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Balanced Budget Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Office of Management and Budget)
 It is unknown if the State Board of Elections currently has systems in place to implement, therefore the fiscal impact cannot be determined.

 Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Dept. of Transportation)
