Bill > HB3074

This bill requires the Secretary of State to enhance the existing $1,000 annual voter registration data subscription service by including "change audit data," which refers to recorded modifications or updates to public records related to voter registration. The bill defines change audit data as including legislative and regulatory amendments, administrative rule changes, updates to agency decisions or policies, and other alterations affecting government documents. Specifically, the change audit data must be keyed to a voter ID, include the date of change, reason for change (such as address or name updates, voter status changes), and be presented as a monthly "delta" or difference from the previous month. The Secretary of State is mandated to make this change audit data available to subscribers within 30 days of the bill's enactment, maintain a secure digital platform for retrieving the information, and provide a clear indexing system for efficient access. The bill emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in public records by ensuring comprehensive access to voter registration data modifications through the annual subscription service.
