H.B. 69 ✗ Bad Bill Transparency

Government Records and Information Amendments

Makes it a class B misdemeanor to access election records to determine whether a specific voter or group of voters voted in person, the method by which they voted, or the date on which they voted or returned a ballot Exempts election officers that are fulfilling duties, complying with court orders, or if requested by the specific voter or group of voters. At the last minute, an addition was made to the bill that removes the possibility of being awarded attorneys fees in government records disputes unless the rejection of the records request was made in "bad faith," making disputes more expensive and possibly leading to more denials
