House To Consider Online Voter Registration
TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) - The House is expected to take up a bill Wednesday that would lead to online voter registration in Florida.
The bill (HB 7143) is one of about four-dozen measures the House could consider during an all-day floor session. Under the proposal, the state Division of Elections would be required to develop a secure website that could be used to register first-time voters and update existing voter registrations.
Wednesday's House agenda also includes a proposal (HB 7109) that would make a series of changes involving the Florida Public Service Commission. As an example, the bill would limit commission members to three consecutive terms. Also, the bill would prevent power utilities from charging customers higher rates because of increased electrical usage stemming from extended billing cycles.
