Title

Etowah Co., board of registrars, working days increased, Sec. 17-3-8 am'd.

Summary

HB436 would let Etowah County's Board of Registrars meet up to five days per week, increasing how often they can hold meetings.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 17-3-8 to change Etowah County's meeting limit from a fixed annual total to a weekly cap of five days for official duties. This could allow more registrar meetings per year, since meetings are no longer restricted to a single annual day total. The bill keeps the provision that up to 25 days of the board's meetings can be used for special registration sessions.

Who It Affects

• Etowah County Board of Registrars and county staff, who gain greater flexibility to schedule meetings (up to five days per week).
• Etowah County residents and voters who use registrar services, who could experience more frequent registration-related activities.

Key Provisions

• Amends Section 17-3-8 to authorize Etowah County Board of Registrars to meet not more than five days per week.
• Maintains that up to 25 days of the allotted working days may be used for special registration sessions.
• Note: The change applies to Etowah County and aligns with the five-days-per-week framework described in the section.
