SB 213 (2025)
Rewrite law against electioneering by public employees, require absentee voters to copy ID
This bill did not become law.
Changes the standard for absentee voting to "It is more likely than not" that a voter will be absent. This bill also requires a voter who registers absentee to include a copy of their birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers.
The House amended the bill to instead rewrite the law against electioneering by public employees, similar to HB 340. For example, the amended bill prohibits public employees from “organizing or conducting surveys, forums, or events that are expressly or primarily political” while on the job or using government resources.
A conference committee of legislators agreed on a final version of the bill that rewrites the law against electioneering by public employees and requires absentee voters to include copies of identification documents.
