House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative McMakin seeks to repeal a specific provision within the Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC 31:III.303(B)(1)(j)) that mandates new voting systems to include password protection and multi-factor user authentication for devices used in tabulation. This rule was established to enhance the security of voting systems in Louisiana, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access and operate the tabulation devices.

The resolution asserts the legislature's authority to amend or repeal rules set by state departments, as outlined in R.S. 49:969. If passed, the resolution will direct the office of the state register to incorporate this repeal into the Louisiana Administrative Code, effectively removing the requirement for password protection and multi-factor authentication from the certification process for new voting systems in the state.
