Prohibits monetary or non-monetary compensation for mail-in ballot messengers or bearers; allows certain employees and volunteers to serve without.

This bill amends existing law to prohibit the acceptance, offer, or provision of monetary or non-monetary compensation for mail-in ballot messengers or bearers. It allows employees and volunteers of certain organizations, such as those exempt from federal taxation, acute care hospitals, and nursing homes, to serve as messengers or bearers without receiving additional compensation beyond their regular duties. However, they can be reimbursed for transportation costs related to ballot transport.
