SB114

The amendment adds a significant exemption allowing county auditors to avoid producing cast vote records or ballot images if their tabulating equipment's software doesn't generate them, which substantially WEAKENS the bill's original mandate to make these records publicly available. It also adds detailed restrictions on when such records can be released (prohibiting release of timing data, personal information, and records from very small precincts or ballot styles unless properly redacted and combined), further NARROWING the scope of public disclosure compared to the introduced version.

This change converts the bill from its engrossed form to its enrolled (final passed) form by removing technical markup language and adding the required certification signatures and enactment pages. The substantive provisions of the bill—establishing public access to ballot images and cast vote records while protecting voter privacy through redaction and aggregation requirements—remain unchanged.
