Summary

The bill directs every county commission to pay its clerk an additional $15,000 each year, split into regular pay periods, if the clerk carries out expanded election tasks such as running municipal elections, maintaining voter rolls, meeting cybersecurity rules, and filing federal reports. The Secretary of State must confirm the clerk met all performance benchmarks before the payment is released. It is meant to compensate clerks for the extra workload added since 2002.
