This bill introduces new regulations for contractors who repair electronic ballot counting devices, requiring them to register with both the Secretary of State and the Attorney General before performing any repairs. Specifically, it mandates that contractors submit proof of being bonded and insured to obtain a registration number. Additionally, contractors must present a photographic identification card to designated municipal officials, which includes their name, company name, and registration number, before accessing the devices. Municipal officials are tasked with recording this information in a device log, and contractors are required to visibly display their identification while in the vicinity of the device.

The bill also includes provisions for the Secretary of State to develop training for municipal officials on verifying and recording a contractor's identity and credentials. Notably, the bill does not establish enforcement mechanisms or penalties for non-compliance, leaving the Department of Justice without a clear obligation to enforce the new requirements. As a result, the fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminable, with potential costs associated with managing the new processes expected to be under $10,000, although this could increase if enforcement duties are added.
