An Act improving fiscal transparency
This bill amends the state election laws to require the Secretary of the Commonwealth to consult with both the Attorney General and the Secretary of State when administering certain election-related matters. The change directly affects the state's election administration process by mandating collaboration between these three officials. It does not create new programs or change funding but simply adds a procedural requirement for coordination during specific administrative tasks.
