What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new title regarding election security grants to the bill.
It establishes an Election Security Grant Fund in the United States Treasury, which would be funded by transferring $1,000,000,000 of Russian sovereign assets seized under the REPO for Ukrainians Act.
The amendment creates an election security grant program where the Commission makes payments to States that agree to comply with specific requirements and notify the Commission of their intent to use the funds.
States would use these payments for activities to improve the administration of elections for Federal office, such as enhancing election technology and making election security improvements.
Payments are subject to limitations, such as not being used to pay for any judgment or costs associated with litigation, unless those costs are otherwise permitted uses.
The amount of the annual payment to a State is determined by a minimum payment amount plus an amount based on the state's voting age population proportion.
