House amendment to the 1st edition makes the following changes.

Instead requires such applicants to be offered a voter registration form. Instructs the Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) to work with the State Board of Election to mail a voter registration form to any person applying for a license or permit online who opts to receive the voter registration form. Clarifies that nothing in the act should be construed to expand or otherwise authorize online voter registration.
