Bill Summary
To require legislative review of certain interpretations of election law by the Secretary of the State.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of the State to submit any proposed declaratory ruling, instruction, opinion, or written order related to election law to the standing legislative regulation review committee for their approval before it can be issued. Currently, the Secretary of the State has the authority to interpret and provide guidance on election law under section 9-3 of the general statutes, but this proposed legislation would add an additional step of legislative oversight by mandating that these interpretations be reviewed and approved by a legislative committee before they can take effect. This bill aims to increase legislative involvement in election law interpretations and provide a mechanism for additional scrutiny of potential changes to election procedures or rules that could be proposed by the Secretary of the State.
