What this bill would do
The "Voters on the Move Registration Act of 2025" requires the distribution of voter registration information during certain housing processes. The Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection must develop a uniform statement regarding voting rights and how to register to vote. This statement must be available in English and the 10 most commonly spoken languages for those with limited English proficiency. Public housing agencies and owners of federally assisted rental housing must provide this statement alongside leases or income verification forms. Additionally, creditors must provide the statement to applicants for residential mortgage loans. Property owners of certain federally backed multifamily mortgage loans must also provide the statement to lessees when a lease is signed.
