Summary

The bill lets each county’s election commission choose which restrooms in a polling‑place building may be used by campaign workers and volunteers. Those staff may use the designated restrooms but cannot enter the actual voting area, and must hide any campaign‑related clothing or items before entering the polling‑place boundary. Violations could be punished under existing election‑law penalties.
