HB 1072: Election provisions changes

Changing provisions relating to elections.

Summary

  • Criminal penalties in the election code are tied directly to the definitions and penalty ranges provided for misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors and felonies provided in the criminal code. Terminology is changed to be consistent with other changes in the election code, to be gender neutral, or to delete redundant language.
