A 5846: Provides remedies for disrupted elections

Bill A 5846 provides remedies for disruptions during early voting or Election Day voting, directly affecting voters and the Boards of Elections. It mandates that if voting at a polling place or district is delayed for over 15 consecutive minutes, the Board of Elections must extend the voting timeframe to compensate for the lost time. This extension can happen on the same day or a subsequent voting day, potentially at alternative locations. The bill also requires the Board of Elections to widely publicize any such remedial actions taken, though they can vote to waive the extension under specific, documented circumstances.

A 8244: Relates to registrations of residential mortgages in default

This bill increases the maximum annual registration fee that local governments can charge mortgage companies for registering residential mortgages in default, raising the cap from $75 to $300. It directly affects local governments (which set the fees) and mortgage companies (which pay the fees), while prohibiting mortgage companies from passing these costs to borrowers in default. The key provision amends a law to allow fees up to $300 per year for mortgage registrations, ensuring borrowers do not bear this cost. The bill does not change eligibility for mortgage registration or alter borrower protections beyond this fee structure.

A 11553: Updates provisions relating to the independent redistricting commission
