HB 5138 – Election Enforcement by AG

HB 5138 ensures that election law violations are prosecuted even when local prosecutors fail to act, restoring accountability and deterring voter fraud. The bill grants the Attorney General mandatory authority to step in after six months of local inaction, streamlining enforcement and closing loopholes exposed by recent court rulings. The bill defends the integrity of one of our most fundamental civic processes—voting. For these reasons, TFR supports HB 5138
