Could someone help me find (Alabama Election Reform) Senate Bill 251?

[Wilms]

I saw a reference for it, without any link. The bill would be for Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail or Ballots.

I tried here Alabama Legislature, but couldn't get the site to work for me:

1. SB251

Hi.

Looked it up but SB251 is a bill in committee to allow people to have firearms in their vehicle while on their employer's property.

I tried doing a search based on your information but there were about 300 bills that pulled up with those keywords when I did a search.

Do you happen to know who sponsored the bill or any other info.?

2. Hey thanks.

I have no other info.

I'll see if I can dig up something more to go on.

Thanks for helping.

And Peace to you!

I was looking for bills that concern paper ballots or paper trails, recounts, and voting security.

Here's what I dug up.

Thanks again.

This bill would require the Secretary of State to issue an invitation to bid for uniform voting procedures, ballots, and equipment in each county, which must be tested and functional for the 2006 June primary election. The equipment would have to be in compliance with the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA); would have to be tested and approved by the International Testing Association (ITA); provide a permanent paper record; and ensure anonymity. Each voting precinct would have to provide one piece of equipment or voting machine that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
