TO: | Honorable Stephanie Klick, Chair, House Committee on Elections |
FROM: | John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2106 by Pacheco (Relating to certain activities near a polling place; changing the elements of certain criminal offenses.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Election Code as it relates to certain activities near a polling place. Under the provisions of the bill, the minimum allowable distance between any outside entrance to a polling place and the location of certain electioneering behaviors would be increased.
A Class C misdemeanor is punishable by a fine not to exceed $500 (up to 180 days of deferred disposition and no confinement). This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.
