Bill > HB2504

This bill prohibits the Secretary of the State Election Board or county election boards from implementing any new federal election guidance without prior approval from the state legislature. It requires the election boards to provide written notice to state officials, including the governor and legislative leadership, about any new federal election directives or guidance, as well as any related litigation. The bill also requires all new federal election funds to be approved by the legislature before being accepted and used, with an exception if the legislature is not in session. The bill also mandates the State Election Board to publish the balance of all federal funds it possesses annually. Violations of these requirements are deemed misdemeanors.
