AI Summary

This bill prohibits public officials and employees from soliciting, receiving, accepting, or expending private funds, gifts, donations, or in-kind contributions to administer elections, with the exception that such private funding can be approved by a joint resolution of the legislature or by the Governor, State Comptroller, Secretary of State, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and Speaker of the House if the legislature is not in session.
