Summary

The bill lets a county probate judge publish the official voter list by alternative means—such as posting in public buildings, online, or as a newspaper supplement—if the cost of a standard newspaper run is higher than a set threshold. The threshold is $40,000 until the end of 2029 and then rises each year with inflation. It also limits how much newspapers can charge for the required publication until 2030.
