Allows State and local governments to give hiring preference to veterans and to people with disabilities when hiring election workers, and prevents jurisdictions from refusing to hire nonresident military spouses or dependents solely because they live outside the State or locality. Defines “individual with a disability” and references the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act definition for “nonresident military spouse or dependent.”
Takes effect on the date the Act is enacted. No new funding is provided; the change adjusts hiring rules and nondiscrimination protections for certain categories of prospective election workers.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
