Bill > A01241

This bill proposes to repeal section 17-140 of the election law, which appears to be related to provisions about furnishing money or entertainment to induce voter attendance at polling places. By removing this specific section of the law, the bill would eliminate existing regulations that currently govern the practice of providing items or incentives to encourage people to vote. The bill is straightforward, with just two sections: the first repealing the specified section of election law, and the second indicating that the act will take effect immediately upon passage. While the bill's details are not fully elaborated in the provided text, its title suggests it is addressing the practice of offering nominal value items or services as a means to persuade voters to participate in elections, potentially to prevent potential voter manipulation or undue influence.
