An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in electronic voting systems, providing for defects, disclosure, investigations and penalties.
HB 155 requires voting system vendors in Pennsylvania to annually disclose known defects in electronic voting systems by January 1 of odd-numbered years, including the defect's impact and corrective measures. Vendors must also report new defects within 30 days. The Department of State can suspend sales, leases, or election use of defective systems and impose a $25,000 civil penalty plus investigation costs for failures to disclose or cure defects. This bill directly affects voting system vendors, the Department of State, and county election boards, which may request investigations into suspected defects. The law aims to ensure transparency and accountability in electronic voting system safety without altering voter eligibility or ballot counting procedures.
