What SB 316 does, verified December 7, 2025

The bill aims to educate high school pupils about voting and voting registration. It requires schools to inform pupils about how to properly preregister to vote and register to vote. Schools must provide information on how to obtain a paper copy of a voter registration card upon request. The bill also allows schools to contract with a third-party nonprofit organization to implement these requirements. Reimbursement for costs mandated by the state will be made if the commission determines that the bill contains such costs.
