Bill Summary

CONCERNING CLARIFICATION OF A POLITICAL PARTY'S LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO BALLOT ACCESS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.

AI Summary

This bill clarifies that political parties are responsible for ensuring accessibility for persons with disabilities when participating in precinct caucuses or party assemblies, particularly concerning remote participation options like video conferencing or telephone calls, and establishes that only the central committee of a political party can be held liable for violations of these accessibility requirements, not individual members or volunteers. It also outlines that individuals who experience a violation of these accessibility rules can seek legal action for compliance, actual damages, or a statutory fine of $3,500 per incident, with each caucus or assembly considered a single incident.
