This bill proposes the establishment of a mobile communications platform specifically designed for election workers, which would be developed by the secretary of state in collaboration with county recorders and election officers. The platform aims to enhance communication among various election personnel, including poll workers and voter registration workers. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for a pilot program to test the platform in select counties, with the possibility of offering it at reduced or no cost to those jurisdictions.

Furthermore, the bill appropriates $200,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to support the implementation of this initiative. It also includes a provision for the repeal of this section after December 31, 2026, indicating that the program is intended to be temporary and subject to evaluation. Current statutes remain unchanged, as the bill introduces new language without altering existing laws.
