Hunter Voter Legislation Needs Your Help in Kentucky

Please contact the House Elections, Constitutional Amendments, and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee

House Bill 542, introduced by State Representative Terry Mills (D-24), is currently pending action in the House Elections, Constitutional Amendments, and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.  The committee is scheduled to hear HB542 on Tuesday, March 16 at 8:00 a.m.

This bill would direct the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources to include a voter registration application form as part of an application for a hunting license or permit.  In addition, HB542 would also provide that any change of address form submitted for purposes of a hunting license or permit would serve as a change of address for voter registration.  Hunter-Voter legislation will encourage sportsmen’s involvement in the political process and is an important method for preserving Kentucky’s outdoor heritage. 

Please contact the members of the House Elections, Constitutional Amendments, and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee and respectfully urge them to support HB542.  Contact information for the committee can be found below.
