The bill proposes an appropriation of thirty-three million dollars ($33,000,000) from the general fund to the local government division of the Department of Finance and Administration. This funding is designated for the establishment of tribal liaison programs in county clerk offices that opt to participate. The aim of these programs is to support the Native American population in each county by ensuring equal access to the electoral process. This will be achieved through initiatives such as voter education, translation services, and voter registration drives, all conducted on a nonpartisan basis.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unspent funds at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund. This ensures that the allocated resources are effectively managed and that any surplus is returned to the state’s finances.
