House Bill 259 amends the Election Code to prohibit the entity that owns or controls a public building being used as a polling place or early voting polling place, at any time during the voting period or early voting period, from prohibiting electioneering on the building's premises outside the prescribed limits within which electioneering is prohibited during the respective voting period. However, the bill authorizes such an entity to enact reasonable regulations concerning the time, place, and manner of electioneering.
