SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Bill 808 increases
the capacity of the electronic voting system revolving fund from $4,000,000 to
$6,500,000. The fund may be used to
finance, by contract, the purchase of electronic voting systems and support
equipment under Section
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
There is no
appropriation associated with this bill; however, the capacity of the
electronic voting system revolving fund has been increased $2,500.0, to
$6,500.0. Any amount in the fund in excess
of $6,500.0 shall revert to the general fund.
The Secretary of State
indicates $1,151,198 of the increase in the fund will qualify as state matching
funds for acquisition of voting systems, voter education, poll worker training,
and accessibility issues. The federal
match to the state match is $22,000.0.
The department indicates if this bill is not passed, it will result in
the loss of $22,000.0 in federal funds to help implement the Help America Vote
Act.
