AI Summary

This bill prohibits state and local election officials and their employees from soliciting, accepting, using, or disposing of certain donations, such as money, grants, property, or personal services, from individuals or non-governmental entities to fund election-related expenses, voter education, voter outreach, or voter registration programs. However, the bill does not prohibit the donation and acceptance of space to be temporarily used as a polling place. Any violation of this law would result in a Class B misdemeanor. Additionally, the bill is excluded from certain financial requirements because it defines a new crime or amends the definition of an existing crime. The bill will become effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor or its otherwise becoming law.
