HB2166 proposes to rename the "County Contributions to the Voter Registration System Fund" to the "State Contribution to the Voter Registration System Fund" and changes the source of the fund's monies from county transfers to allocations made by the Secretary of State (SOS) for the administration of the Access Voter Information Database (AVID). The bill also specifies that the enactment of this legislation is conditional upon the enactment of HB2590, which relates to the qualification and registration of electors.

The bill removes the requirement for an agreement between counties and the SOS for transferring funds, instead allowing the SOS to allocate funds directly for the development and administration of AVID. The fund will continue to be administered by the SOS and monies in the fund will remain exempt from lapsing of appropriations and continuously appropriated for the purpose of developing and administering the statewide voter registration database.
