“C. Out of the general fund appropriation for this item, $50,000 the first year and $50,000 the second year is provided to reimburse localities for the financial impact due to the enactment of House Bill 568 of 2018 General Assembly Session which extends voting hours by closing the polls at 8:00 p.m. as opposed to 7:00 p.m."



Explanation

(This amendment provides $50,000 from the general fund each year to reimburse localities for increased cost from House Bill 568 which extends voting hours by closing the polls at 8:00 p.m. as opposed to 7:00 p.m. The cost of elections is a local responsibility but amendment funds the impact of the new mandate.)
