The committee reconvened.



Representative Rosenthal, sponsor, presented House Bill 16-1369 to the committee and provided a handout (Attachment C). Under current law, a voter that shows his or her completed ballot in a way that discloses its contents commits a criminal misdemeanor offense. This bill eliminates the criminal offense for a voter who discloses his or her completed ballot through electronic means. This bill also clarifies that it is a criminal misdemeanor offense to take a photograph of another voter's ballot.
