Responding to a question from Commissioner Jones regarding the impact of bills to emergency ordinances, Ms. Jacob advised that the bills would be reviewed to gauge any impact and would provide updates, if needed.
In response to questions from Commissioner Segerblom, Ms. Jacob advised the Legislature appropriated approximately $6.2 million dollars in FY22 and $5.9 million dollars in FY23 for the mailing costs of the mail-in election ballots, and the funds would be administered through the Secretary of State’s Office; further advised that there could be an additional session of the Legislature to discuss the American Rescue Act federal funding, though Senate Bill 461 established priorities for the State’s portion of the funds, and to pay back loans to the unemployment compensation fund. | |
