AZ HB2073

Converts driver license applications to automatic voter registration by default, requiring applicants to affirmatively decline registration rather than opt-in, effective December 31, 2023.

Expands automatic registration to include nonoperating identification licenses and changes to license information, with applicants having 21 calendar days to decline registration after receiving notice.

Requires the Department of Transportation and Secretary of State to adopt rules implementing automatic registration, aligning license and voter registration forms, and electronically transferring registration information to county recorders within 5 days.

Mandates that applicants receive statements detailing voting eligibility requirements, penalties for false registration, and confidentiality protections, with attestation required under penalty of perjury.

Protects applicants who unknowingly register while ineligible from prosecution for false registration or false swearing.
