Amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), entitled "An act concerning elections, including general, municipal, special and primary elections, the nomination of candidates, primary and election expenses and election contests; creating and defining membership of county boards of elections; imposing duties upon the Secretary of the Commonwealth, courts, county boards of elections, county commissioners; imposing penalties for violation of the act, and codifying, revising and consolidating the laws relating thereto; and repealing certain acts and parts of acts relating to elections," providing for employee voter leave.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to provide for employee voter leave. It defines an "employee" as an individual employed by a public or private entity and allows employees to take up to 2 hours of paid time off to vote, without losing pay or leave time. The bill requires employers to post a notice provided by the Secretary of the Commonwealth outlining these provisions, and imposes fines of $100-$500 for employers who refuse to grant employee voter leave or penalize employees for exercising this right.
