Amends existing law to limit liability for owners of property used as a polling place.
RS33634 / S1389 This legislation limits the liability of a property owner who allows the use of facilities and/or real property, without charge, as a polling location for Idaho elections. This legislation also clarifies that any nonprofit entity that allows its facility to be used as a polling location does so without placing its tax exemption at risk.
Kelly Anthon · SD-027
Amends existing law to provide for the securing of liability insurance coverage for private facilities used as polling places and to limit liability for private facilities used as polling places on election day.
This legislation establishes general liability protection of private facilities designated as polling locations during Idaho elections. Election workers and volunteers are also protected from personal civil liability when working at private facilities designated as polling locations. This civil liability protection also extends to a nonprofit entity that has provided a location for a polling place, while reaffirming that no nonprofit places its tax exemption at risk by doing so.
