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 funds for election administration. "Private funds" are defined as money from individuals, corporations, nonprofits, or other non-governmental entities. The law takes immediate effect and directly affects election administration budgets by restricting funding sources to only public or government-approved channels. It does not change voting procedures or election outcomes, only the funding mechanisms for election operations.
