DESCRIPTION
This proposal prohibits an employer from terminating or disciplining an employee who is appointed to serve as an election judge by a board of election commissioners. An employee who is appointed to serve as an election judge may be absent from his or her employment for the period of time that the election authority requires the employee to serve as election judge.
An employee discharged in violation of this section may bring civil action against the employer for recovery of lost wages, for an order directing reinstatement and, if the employee prevails, reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
