relative to electioneering by public employees.

HB 340 would prohibit public employees, including those appointed by local officials, from campaigning for candidates, political parties, or ballot measures while performing official duties. It bans using government resources like phones, computers, or vehicles for electioneering and defines prohibited actions - such as distributing campaign materials, making biased statements, or organizing events that advocate for specific candidates. Exceptions include neutral voter registration drives, sharing official election information without bias, and university surveys. Violations would be classified as misdemeanors.
