Regards state information technology systems and shared services
This bill establishes a temporary board to review cybersecurity and fraud prevention practices for state agency information systems, requiring the board to submit its findings and recommendations to state leaders within twelve months before it is dissolved. It mandates a post-election audit for every election in Ohio and requires the Secretary of State to certify ballot titles and initiative petitions alongside their summaries. The legislation also modifies voter registration procedures, including updates to how the Bureau of Motor Vehicles registers electors and rules for removing ineligible voters from the registration database. Additionally, it limits when individuals can fill out election forms for others and adjusts requirements for petitions filed by new political parties.
