What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, public high schools are used for the registration of students and staff

who are qualified electors. The municipal clerk or board of election commissioners

of each municipality where a public high school is located must agree with the school

board of the school district operating that school upon the appointment of at least one

person to serve as a special registration deputy for the purpose of registering

students and staff at that school. In addition, the principal of any private high school

or of any tribal school that operates high school grades may request the municipal

clerk or board of election commissioners of the municipality where the school is

located to establish registration dates or to appoint a special registration deputy for

the purpose of registering students at that school. The clerk or board must establish

registration dates or appoint a special registration deputy if the clerk or board

determines that the high school or tribal school has a substantial number of students

residing in the municipality.

This bill deletes the requirement and procedures for registration of students

and staff at public high schools and the requirement and procedures for registration

of students at private schools and tribal schools that operate high school grades if the

schools have a substantial number of students residing in a particular municipality.
