MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify that the state board of elections is responsible for posting sample ballots, rather than just 'the board.' The amendment also corrects a grammatical error in the effective date section by adding the word 'have' to the phrase 'shall have become a law.'
REQUIREMENT
Changed the requirement from 'the board of elections' to 'the state board of elections' to explicitly define which entity must post sample ballots.
TECHNICAL
Added the word 'have' to the effective date clause to ensure the legal phrasing is grammatically correct.
