Executive director: legislative summary, $1 million election special project fund and candidate guide timing
Summary
The executive director summarized the just-concluded legislative session, noted House Bill 3144 (administrative law judges) and said the election special project fund was appropriated at $1,000,000; she also said the candidate guide is in final legal review and expected by late June/July 1.
The executive director delivered the board's staff report and a legislative update during the June 17 meeting, describing staff follow-up as the legislature moves toward veto session.
She told the board that the budget bill the agency requested was approved and that an elections omnibus had been drafted and given a subject-matter hearing but did not pass. She specifically referenced a recently passed House Bill (listed in the memorandum as HB 3144) that affects administrative law judges and noted that the agency's special project fund was appropriated at $1,000,000.
On the candidate guide, the executive director said it was in final legal review and expected to be published "by the end of this month or pretty much the 1st day of July." She emphasized the guide is informational, not legal advice, and explained staff waits until session concludes to avoid publishing conflicting versions if language changes.
