Speakers:

The Senate Committee on Elections and Constitutional Amendments advanced two bills — AB 282 and SB 1418 — adding criminal penalties and custody protections to prevent seizure of ballots, election records, and certified voting technology; both passed committee votes, 4–1, and moved on to the next committee steps.
