The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5073, aims to appropriate additional funds from the General Fund to the Office of Policy and Management for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The purpose of this funding is to provide grants to municipalities to help them manage the increased costs associated with administering early voting.
This bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that specifies the allocation of funds for the aforementioned purpose. The intent is to support municipalities in mitigating the financial burden that comes with implementing early voting measures.
