The bill establishes a new crime called "interference with an election official," which is defined as intimidating, threatening, or coercing an election official in any manner with the intent to impede their official duties or retaliate against them for performing those duties. The bill classifies this offense as a severity level 7, nonperson felony. It also clarifies that the provisions do not apply to enforcement actions taken by election officials against other election officials for violations of state or federal law.

Additionally, the bill defines "election official" to include various roles such as county clerks, election commissioners, and election judges, while explicitly excluding poll agents from this definition. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
