SB2242 establishes rules for private, nongovernmental funds for election authorities in Illinois.
SB2242 amends the Election Code to create the Election Authority Support Fund, managed by the State Board of Elections. The Board is tasked with disbursing funds to election authorities, ensuring they are proportional to the population of the jurisdiction. The Board can seek private, nongovernmental grants and donations for election authorities. Election authorities cannot apply for these funds directly; instead, the Board handles applications and distributes funds within 30 days of approval. The Board must publish notices of available funds at least once a year.
