Bill would require precinct‑chair applicants to give contact info while keeping it confidential
Summary
House Bill 766 would require precinct‑chair candidates to include an email address, phone number, or both on their ballot‑application forms and would designate that contact information as confidential; the Senate Committee on State Affairs left the bill pending after no public testimony.
The Committee on State Affairs considered House Bill 766, which would require precinct‑chair applicants to include an email address, phone number or both on their application and make that contact information confidential.
The dean of the Senate, who presented the measure, said: "It simply would require precinct to include their email addresses, phone numbers or both on their applications and ensure that contact information would remain confidential and not considered public information. That's all it does." The committee opened public testimony and heard none.
The bill was discussed briefly and left pending for further consideration; no amendments or votes were taken during the hearing. Committee staff did not record any public witnesses for or against the measure during the meeting.
