This bill clarifies that state and local jurisdictions may give hiring preference to certain groups for election worker positions. It explicitly allows preferences for veterans and individuals with a disability when administering elections, defining the latter as someone with an impairment substantially limiting major life activities. Additionally, the legislation addresses hiring for nonresident military spouses or dependents . It permits state and local jurisdictions to give preference to these individuals and, importantly, prohibits refusing to hire them solely due to a lack of local residency. This aims to facilitate the employment of these specific groups in election administration.
