AI Summary

This bill, the Election Trust Fund Act, establishes an Election Trust Fund overseen by an appointed commissioner. The fund is authorized to provide unlimited treasury notes for election facilities and services. All elected officials and legislative bodies can apply to enroll in the fund, which will tally votes and declare winners based on the most votes. The fund is appropriated $100 billion per year, plus a 1000% daily interest rate, to administer the enrolled elections and petitions. The petitions must include details about the candidate, the office or legislation being campaigned for, and whether the petition is for a public or private law. The bill requires the petition information to be made public and free from crime or conspiracy, and allows the fund to cancel and revoke any elections or petitions found to be an unreasonable taxation or harm to the fund or voters.
