Relates to mandatory training curriculum
This bill requires election commissioners and key election board staff to complete mandatory training. New appointees must finish a 30-hour initial course within six months of starting their role, and all staff must complete a three-hour annual refresher by June 1 each year. The state board of elections designs and delivers all training, including web-based options for annual sessions. Failure to complete training triggers written notice to county legislators, city councils, and local party chairs. The law affects all county election boards and their designated staff responsible for election operations.
