Summary
This bill would prohibit boards of elections employees and election commissioners from being employed by or controlling political action committees (PACs) that are organized for elections administered by those officials. The prohibition prevents election officials from having financial interests in or control over PACs involved in elections they administer or oversee. The bill establishes a conflict of interest rule to ensure that election officials maintain independence from political organizations participating in the elections they manage. This provision aims to protect the integrity of election administration by preventing potential conflicts between official duties and personal financial interests in political entities.
