This bill proposes an increase in daily compensation for election workers from $300 to $400 for each primary, general, or special election. Additionally, it raises the additional compensation for election workers responsible for managing signature copy registers. Previously, if one worker handled this task, they received an extra $12.50, and if two shared the responsibility, each received $6.25. The new compensation rates will be $20 for one worker and $10 each for two workers sharing the task.

Furthermore, the bill adjusts the state's reimbursement to counties for election worker compensation, increasing it from $225 to $325, while the counties will continue to cover the remaining $75. The changes aim to enhance the financial incentives for election workers and ensure fair compensation for their services. The act will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
