Prohibits the state board of elections and local boards of elections from accepting donations of private funds for election administration
This bill prohibits the state Board of Elections and all local election boards from accepting any private donations for election administration. It bans funds from individuals, corporations, nonprofits, or any non-governmental entity, defining "private funds" broadly to cover all such sources. The law applies directly to election administration activities, such as managing voter rolls or running elections, and prevents private money from influencing these processes. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and is currently referred to the Election Law committee.
