The bill, HB2166, proposes to rename the "County Contributions to the Voter Registration System Fund" to the "State Contribution to the Voter Registration System Fund." It shifts the responsibility for allocating funds from counties to the Secretary of State (SOS), who will now allocate the funds for the administration of the Access Voter Information Database (AVID). This change aims to streamline the funding process for the statewide voter registration system.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will only take effect if House Bill 2590, which pertains to the qualification and registration of electors, is enacted. The new provisions ensure that the funds are continuously appropriated to the SOS for the development and administration of the voter registration database, exempting them from lapsing appropriations.
