Last week Government Administration and Elections Committee (GAE) on passed a modified version of S.B. 1083 <here> out of committee. It would empower a task force to study regionalization of election administration. Earlier we testified in favor of the bill pointing to the possible benefits of such a task force. <read>
No bill is perfect and all our subject to modification before passage by the General Assembly. In this case we would be pleased if the bill passed in its current form. However, we believe that the time frame for the task force completion before the next legislative session is too constraining. We suggest it be extended for a year.
