Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 738 includes changes to the roles and hiring processes for leadership positions in the State Board of Elections by clarifying that the board itself will determine the annual salaries of the executive director and the assistant director. This change is significant because it allows for more direct control by the board over compensation, potentially leading to better management of election processes. Additionally, some sections referencing the state's structure and departments were removed, streamlining the bill and removing outdated references.
