Relative to reimbursements to cities and towns for early voting costs. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to reimburse cities and towns for the costs they incur in implementing the state's early voting law, including expenses for additional personnel, overtime, voting equipment, and data entry. The state auditor will determine the estimated costs for the upcoming fiscal year, and the Secretary of State will include those costs in the state's budget recommendations and distribute the funds to the municipalities within 30 days of the costs being incurred. The reimbursed funds must be deposited into the city or town's general fund and can be spent without further appropriation to cover the mandated early voting expenses.
