The bill establishes a new crime called "interference with an election official," which involves intimidating, threatening, or coercing election officials in order to impede their duties or retaliate against them for their actions. This offense is classified as a severity level 7, nonperson felony. The bill also clarifies that this provision does 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.
