HB2842112th GA (Historical)Introduced

Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 7.

ON APRIL 4, 2022, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #2 AND PASSED SENATE BILL 2504, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #2 rewrites this bill to authorize county election commissions to designate restroom facilities in a building in which the election is to be held that are for the use of workers or volunteers working for a campaign. If a county election commission designates restroom facilities, workers and volunteers of a campaign working outside of a polling place may use restroom facilities in the building in which the election is held, but may not enter the polling place. A worker or volunteer of a campaign must cover or remove clothing or accoutrement bearing campaign material before entering the designated boundary established pursuant to present law. A worker or volunteer of a campaign who enters the boundary without covering or removing campaign material, or who attempts to solicit votes within the boundary, may be subject to punishment under the present law provision under which it is a Class C misdemeanor to violate polling place restrictions by the display of campaign-related items when boundary signs are posted.
