Creates the "Office of Election Crimes and Security" within the office of the secretary of state
HB 1833 creates a new "Office of Election Crimes and Security" within the secretary of state's office to handle complaints and investigate alleged election law violations. The office will employ a director and investigators who have the power to subpoena records and enter polling places to gather evidence, while also overseeing a voter fraud hotline. If an investigation reveals a potential crime, the findings are sent to the attorney general and local prosecutors for further action. The bill also requires the office to submit annual reports to state leaders detailing the number of complaints received, investigations conducted, and their outcomes. Additionally, it clarifies that the attorney general has concurrent authority with local prosecutors to investigate election-related offenses statewide.
