Bill Summary

To require the Secretary of the State to submit a report on each election law modified by executive order of the Governor or pursuant to the Secretary's authority under section 9-3 of the general statutes for any election or primary.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Connecticut Secretary of the State to submit a detailed report to the legislative committee overseeing elections by October 1, 2025, that comprehensively documents any changes made to election laws through two specific mechanisms: executive orders issued by the Governor or actions taken under the Secretary's authority in section 9-3 of the state's general statutes. The purpose of the bill is to enhance legislative oversight by ensuring that any modifications to election procedures during an election or primary season are transparently reported to the appropriate legislative body, allowing lawmakers to review and potentially scrutinize changes that might impact the electoral process. This reporting requirement appears designed to provide greater accountability and transparency in how election laws can be altered outside of the standard legislative process, particularly through executive actions.
