The bill establishes the In-Person Absentee Voting Expansion Grant Program within the State Election Board, aimed at providing financial assistance to county election boards for the establishment and operation of additional in-person absentee voting sites during statewide elections held in November of even-numbered years. Eligible counties can apply for grants based on their registered voter population, with specific criteria outlined for different population thresholds. The program will award grants of $25,000 for each approved application to cover various expenses related to the operation of these voting locations, including staffing and facility costs.

Additionally, the bill creates a revolving fund in the State Treasury designated for the In-Person Absentee Voting Expansion Grant Program, which will be funded by the Legislature and is not subject to fiscal year limitations. The State Election Board is tasked with promulgating necessary rules and procedures for the program, including application timelines and reporting requirements. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
