What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Hiring Preference for Veterans and Americans With Disabilities Act," aims to clarify hiring rules for election workers. It allows State or local jurisdictions to give preference to veterans or individuals with a disability when hiring people to administer elections. Additionally, it allows jurisdictions to give preference to nonresident military spouses or dependents. It also prevents jurisdictions from refusing to hire these specific individuals solely because they do not live in that State or local jurisdiction.
