Bill overview
This bill expands the existing program that allows individuals to obtain confidential voter status to include those with cognitive impairments. It allows a person with power of attorney for an individual with a cognitive impairment to apply for this status on their behalf, requiring a sworn statement confirming the impairment. Elections officials are required to exclude voters with confidential status from public lists, and the Secretary of State must report annually on applications received and any misuse allegations. The bill also addresses potential reimbursement for local agencies related to the new mandate.
