Bill > HB1669

This bill makes several changes to Tennessee election laws, including how reimbursements are processed for county election commissions for primary elections, by aligning them with the procedures for presidential preference primaries when funds are appropriated. It also removes the requirement for approval from the speaker of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives for certain acceptances or expenditures, and similarly removes the need for approval from the secretary of state or their designee for other acceptances or expenditures. Additionally, the bill modifies how voter registration records are handled by allowing them to be listed alphabetically or by date, and it clarifies the process for administrators to inform registrants of rejection reasons and to maintain purged registration records for two years before destruction, while also ensuring that any outstanding or uncounted absentee ballots from purged voters are marked as "Rejected."
