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.
