What’s in it
AI summary The secretary of state would create a special group to study how to use voting machines that do not connect to the internet and use analog instead of digital processes. This group would look for a company to make these machines and figure out how much it would cost to switch to them. They must also report their findings and recommendations to the governor and the legislature.1

The task force shall also identify a manufacturer for such machines, estimate the costs of converting to the use of such machines, identify such steps as are necessary to convert to the use of such machines, and make other relevant recommendations to the general assembly. The task force shall not recommend the use of electronic voting systems. The bill sets requirements for the membership of the task force.
