Subcommittee pledges to draft options for proving mailing dates, funding outreach and statutory fixes
Summary
Chair Tepper said the subcommittee will investigate technical and statutory ways to prove mailing dates or otherwise protect taxpayers and voters after USPS postmark changes, and asked stakeholders to work with committee counsel on bill language before the next session.
Chair Tepper closed both panels by asking stakeholders to collaborate with committee counsel and staff to craft statutory language and operational fixes. The chair said the committee will look for any practical technical solutions to prove mailing dates and stressed the committee's commitment to resolving issues before January bill filing deadlines: "So this committee is committed to finding out any and all ways we can prove when something was mailed."
Members encouraged interagency coordination and targeted outreach for at-risk groups, and Chair Tepper said staff would work with witnesses to draft potential bills. The hearing adjourned with the subcommittee signaling follow-up work on statutory clarifications, outreach funding, and potential constitutional issues identified by county associations.
