This bill died with 2019-2020 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

What changed in the latest version
29 added · 59 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to Bill SB 48 clarify the composition of the commission overseeing voting systems. Specifically, one member appointed by the Governor must now be a county election officer, enhancing local expertise in election matters. Additionally, the Secretary of State's role has been modified to allow for a designee from the Commonwealth, which could improve flexibility in decision-making. These amendments aim to strengthen the oversight and efficiency of election processes, making them more responsive to local needs.
