Bill Summary
This bill requires election workers to be paid for required training programs. Under current law, election workers who attend required training programs may or may not be paid by the county where they are training. The current compensation is at the discretion of the county and is an expense of the county. This bill requires election workers to be paid an hourly rate commensurate with the State minimum wage for the time spent attending required training programs. A county may submit an application to the Secretary of State for reimbursement of the compensation.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that election workers must be paid an hourly rate, at least equivalent to the State minimum wage, for any mandatory training programs they are required to attend. Previously, compensation for such training was at the discretion of the county where the election worker was training, meaning payment was not guaranteed and was considered an expense for that county. To help offset these costs, counties can now apply to the Secretary of State for reimbursement from the State for the compensation paid to election workers for attending these required training sessions.
