What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires elections officials to attend at least one training session every

two years during the period beginning on January 1 of each even-numbered year and

ending on December 31 of the following year. Current law requires such training at

least once every two years, but indicates neither the beginning nor the end of that

period. The bill also changes the two-year term for members of a board of canvassers

so that the term begins on January 1 of the even-numbered year rather than

January 1 of the odd-numbered year.
