The Assembly Appropriations Committee voted 9-1 on Aug. 30 to concur in Senate amendments to AB 282, a bill described in committee as aimed at preventing the seizure of ballots, election records and certified voting technology before election results are certified.
According to the committee hearing materials, the motion advanced after AB 282 was presented as an election-integrity measure that would make that conduct a felony. The committee then took a recorded roll-call vote and approved the motion.
The hearing took place as the committee handled one bill late in the session. The source material does not identify the dissenting member by name, and it does not establish what happens next for the bill on the Assembly floor or with the governor.
