Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert:
"Section 1. Section 16-112, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to
read:
16-112. Driver license voter registration
A. Every person who is applying for a driver license or renewal and
who is otherwise qualified to register to vote, at the same time and
place, shall be allowed to register to vote by providing the information
prescribed by section 16-152.    The method used to register voters shall
require only the minimum information necessary to prevent duplicate
registrations,   to  enable   elections   officials  to   determine  voter
eligibility and to administer voter registration and election laws.      A
registration form shall be included for a person who is applying for a
driver license renewal by mail.     On completing a form that contains at
least the information prescribed by section 16-121.01 and that may contain
the information prescribed by section 16-152 and on receipt of that form
by the county recorder from the department of transportation as prescribed
by subsection D of this section, the applicant is presumed to be properly
registered to vote.    That presumption may be rebutted as provided in
section 16-121.01.
B. The director of the department of transportation and the
secretary of state shall consult at least every two years regarding voter
registration at driver license offices. The director of the department of
transportation and the secretary of state, after consultation with all
county recorders, shall adopt rules to implement a system allowing driver
license applicants to register to vote at the same time and place as they
apply for driver licenses. The rules shall:
1. Bring the license application and voter registration application
forms into substantial conformity.
2. Allow the transfer of driver license applications, including
renewal and change of address, and voter registration information from the
department of transportation to the voter registration rolls.
3. Respect all rules and statutes of this state concerning the
confidentiality of driver license application information.
4. Provide for the manual or electronic generation and transmittal
of voter registrations and provide for electronic generation of changes in
voter registration information, including address, in conformity with the
confidentiality requirements of the national voter registration act of
1993 (P.L. 103-31; 107 Stat. 77; 52 United States Code sections 20501
through 20511).
C. The department of transportation shall provide to applicants a
statement that provides each eligibility requirement for voting, including
citizenship, an attestation that the applicant meets each requirement, for
the signature of the applicant under penalty of perjury and, in print that
is identical to that used in the attestation, the following:
1. A description of the penalties provided by law for the
submission of a false voter registration application.
2. A statement that if an applicant declines to register to vote
the fact that the applicant has declined to register will remain
confidential and will be used only for voter registration purposes.
3. A statement that if an applicant does register to vote the
office at which the applicant submits a voter registration application
will remain confidential and will be used only for voter registration
purposes.
D. The department of transportation shall return or mail completed
SUBMIT VOTER registrations TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE, AND THE SECRETARY OF
STATE SHALL FORWARD THE VOTER REGISTRATIONS AND A COPY OF THE APPLICANT'S
SIGNATURE THAT WAS WRITTEN BY HAND ON A DOCUMENT to the county recorder of
the county in which the applicant resides within five days after receipt
of a completed registration."
