House Bill 1570 amends the Election Code to require the secretary of state, not later than January 1, 2012, to adopt standards of training for deputy voter registrars in election law relating to the registration of voters, develop materials for a standardized curriculum for that training, and distribute the materials as necessary to each county voter registrar. The bill authorizes the training standards to include the passage of an examination at the end of a training program. The bill prohibits a regular deputy voter registrar from assisting in the registration of voters and prohibits a volunteer deputy voter registrar from receiving another person's voter registration application until the regular or volunteer deputy registrar has completed required training. The bill requires the voter registrar, at the time of a deputy registrar's appointment, to provide information about the times and places at which training is offered.
