Bill > HB194

This bill prohibits state and local election officials and their employees from soliciting, accepting, using, or disposing of certain donations from individuals or non-governmental entities for funding certain election-related expenses, such as payments for election officials, equipment, ballots, and voter education. However, the bill allows for the donation and acceptance of space to be temporarily used as a polling place, and it also allows for the acceptance of donations of items for the preservation or protection of public health during a state public health emergency, with specific notice requirements. Violating this law would be a Class B misdemeanor.
