Bill > HB0303

This bill makes several key changes: 1. It defines new terms, including "Hash Code," "Protected Individual," and others, to provide more privacy protections for voter registration information. 2. It requires the lieutenant governor to provide notice to registered voters who are "protected individuals" about how their voter information may be used and disclosed, even if their records are withheld from political parties and candidates. 3. It allows the lieutenant governor or county clerk to provide limited, non-identifying voter information to political parties and candidates for public office, if certain requirements are met, while still protecting the privacy of "protected individuals." 4. It requires election officers to respond to requests for information about rejected ballots in a timely and non-discriminatory manner. 5. It makes other minor updates to voter registration and provisional ballot processes to incorporate the new privacy protections. Overall, the bill aims to balance voter privacy with the needs of political parties and candidates, particularly for voters who may be at risk of harm if their information is publicly disclosed.
