Senate Bill 910 amends the Election Code to authorize the submission of certain documents under Texas election law to be made by telephonic facsimile machine. Among other provisions relating to election practices and procedures, the bill requires information filed monthly with the secretary of state by certain entities regarding deceased Texas residents to be filed electronically unless the secretary of state waives this requirement. The bill specifies that documents the secretary of state submits to the attorney general in regard to a complaint are not considered public information except under certain circumstances. The bill revises certain election-related deadlines and filing periods and includes among the costs of a recount that are assessable against the authority responsible for paying the expenses of an election the actual expense incurred in producing a printed ballot image from an electronic voting system record. Senate Bill 910 amends the Government Code to require the list of people who are excused or disqualified from jury service because they are not citizens of the United States that is filed with the secretary of state by the clerk of a court to be filed electronically.
