Bill > S2985

Introduced Session

This bill allows each person licensed or certified by the State Board of Social Work Examiners to earn up to four credits of continuing education by volunteering as a poll worker on the day of a State primary and general election. Under the bill, a person may volunteer for either a primary or a general election, or both, and is to receive two credits for each time the person served as a volunteer, as appropriate. A person licensed or certified by the board cannot earn more than four credits per renewal period for volunteering as a poll worker. For purposes of recordkeeping, a person is to maintain proof of the time as a poll worker by obtaining a certified letter issued by the municipality, county or other local government charged with managing an election or in another manner and form as determined by the board. The provisions of the bill are not to be construed as requiring a person to volunteer as a poll worker. The credits are an option for a person to fulfill continuing education requirements that are required pursuant to current law.
