MINOR
The bill was amended to correct a typo in the rule being repealed, changing the reference from LAC 31:III.301 to LAC 31:III.303. Additionally, a minor formatting change was made to the administrative code reference. These changes ensure the bill targets the correct state rule regarding voting system security requirements.
Scope change
The scope of the repeal was corrected to target the specific rule at LAC 31:III.303 instead of the previously cited LAC 31:III.301.
TECHNICAL

Corrected the repealed rule citation from LAC 31:III.301 to LAC 31:III.303 to ensure the correct voting system security rule is removed.

Changed the reference to the Louisiana Administrative Code from 'LAC' to 'La. Administrative Code' in the digest section.
