SB114

The amendment adds a critical exemption allowing county auditors to avoid producing cast vote records or ballot images altogether if their tabulating equipment software doesn't generate them, which significantly WEAKENS the bill's original mandate to make these records publicly available. It also adds detailed restrictions on releasing such records when they do exist—prohibiting disclosure of voting order, personal information, and small-precinct data unless properly redacted and combined—which NARROWS the bill's transparency goals by creating substantial exceptions to public access.

The amendment changed the bill from an engrossed version (still in legislative process) to the enrolled version (final form ready for the Governor), making only technical and formatting adjustments such as replacing procedural language ("procedure for" to "process of," "shall" to "must") and adding official signature blocks and certification pages. These changes do not substantively alter the bill's purpose of requiring publication of ballot images and cast vote records while protecting voter privacy through redaction and aggregation safeguards.
