An Act To Authorize The Secretary Of State To Designate Law Enforcement Officers Employed By The Department Of The Secretary Of State To Investigate Alleged Violations Of Election Laws

This bill requires the Secretary of State to designate sworn law enforcement officers from their department to investigate alleged violations of election laws. It also mandates that the Attorney General designate a Deputy or Assistant Attorney General to assist in investigating and prosecuting such violations. The bill does not affect current district attorney authority to handle election law cases. These changes clarify and expand state-level roles in election enforcement without altering existing local prosecution pathways.
