Bill > SB73

This bill modifies Nevada's existing election record laws by establishing new rules regarding voter signatures. Specifically, the bill requires county and city clerks to allow members of the public to visually inspect a registered voter's signature at the clerk's office, while simultaneously prohibiting the clerk from providing or allowing anyone to make a copy of that signature. This change builds upon existing Nevada Public Records Act provisions that generally make governmental records publicly accessible, with certain exceptions. The bill maintains protections for other sensitive voter information like social security numbers, driver's license numbers, and electronic mail addresses, which remain confidential. By permitting signature inspection but preventing signature copying, the bill appears to balance transparency with voter privacy concerns, allowing public verification of signatures while preventing potential misuse of exact signature reproductions. The legislation becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval, and it applies to signatures of registered voters held by county and city election clerks throughout Nevada.
