POLLING PLACES – Amends existing law to provide for the securing of liability insurance coverage for private facilities used as polling places and to limit liability for private facilities used as polling places on election day.

Summary

The measure would require the state to purchase commercial liability insurance for private facilities used as polling places and would give volunteers, officers and trustees immunity from civil suits unless they act willfully or fraudulently. It also clarifies that using tax‑exempt property as a polling place does not affect its exemption. The bill failed and was recommitted to the State Affairs Committee.
