Permits police officers to be assigned to school if school is being used as polling place during conduct of election.
This bill permits police officers to be assigned to schools serving as polling places during elections, specifically for security purposes. School districts, election officials, or county clerks can request this police presence at school-based polling locations. Officers assigned for this role must not interfere with voters, and violating this rule would be a crime of the third degree. The law updates existing election statutes to explicitly allow such assignments at schools, clarifying that security at these sites is permitted under specific conditions.
