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, while two workers sharing the responsibility received $6.25 each. The new compensation rates will be $20 for one worker and $10 each for two workers.

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 better compensate election workers for their services and ensure that counties are reimbursed adequately for the costs incurred. The act will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
