TO:
Honorable Briscoe Cain, Chair, House Committee on Elections
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1725 by Paul (Relating to prohibiting in-person delivery of ballots by mail.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Election Code as it relates to delivery of ballots by mail.  Under the provisions of the bill, in-person delivery of ballots by mail would be prohibited.

This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.  The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony-level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
