What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, election workers performing duties at an election are paid

a reasonable daily wage for their work. This bill provides that election workers

performing duties during a recount may not be paid a different daily wage than that

paid for similar work performed at the election.
