The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 17, aims to provide financial support to municipalities for the costs associated with implementing early voting. It proposes an appropriation of an unspecified sum of money from the General Fund to the Office of Policy and Management for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. This funding is intended to reimburse municipalities for any additional election administration costs incurred due to the introduction of early voting.

The bill emphasizes the need to ensure that municipalities are not financially burdened by the transition to early voting, thereby making them "whole" for the increased costs. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this bill introduces new provisions without altering existing legal language.
