Under existing law, the state is required to reimburse counties for certain election expenses as defined by law. Additionally, the law provides for an Election Expense Reimbursement Committee to identify other election expenses which should be eligible for reimbursement prior to each election cycle.
This bill would include expenses for certain additional election activities in the definition of election expenses. This bill would also alter the makeup of the Election Expense Reimbursement Committee, provide for the committee to recommend additional election expenses eligible for reimbursement to the Comptroller, and require the Comptroller to explain to the committee if he or she does not include an expense recommended by the committee on the list of approved expenses.
