AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING TO COMPENSATE MUNICIPALITIES FOR COSTS INCURRED BECAUSE OF EARLY VOTING.

HB 6191 provides funding to reimburse municipalities for increased election costs caused by early voting. It appropriates money from the state General Fund (for the 2025-2026 fiscal year) to pay back towns and cities that spent extra on election administration due to offering early voting periods. The bill directly affects local governments that implement early voting, covering expenses like staffing, equipment, or extended facility use. This is a funding mechanism, not a policy change to voting rules or requirements.
