Bill Summary
For legislation to fairly fund early voting. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to fairly fund early voting by amending the General Laws to require the Commonwealth to fully reimburse cities and towns for the costs of mandated early voting procedures and operations. The state treasurer would be required to annually pay the approved reimbursement amounts to the cities and towns, which could then deposit the funds into an "Early Voting Reimbursement Fund" that could carry forward for one fiscal year. The bill also adds provisions to allow the Secretary of State to establish the means to seek, process, and approve the reimbursement.
