Floor Report: Lawmakers Seek to Limit Possible Primary Election Delay, Introduce Russian Divestment Bill, and More

Lawmakers amended a proposed elections cost-sharing agreement to ban election officials from asking courts to push back the upcoming primary election beyond July 12 during a Tuesday morning floor session. The amendment, introduced by Del. Jheanelle K. Wilkins (D-Montgomery), would mean that election officials wouldn’t be able to ask for an extension beyond two weeks after the currently scheduled June 28 primary election if the bill passes.
