provides for the transfer to this appropriation account of up to $250,000 per fiscal
year of federal Help America Vote Act funds. Under the bill, DOT must certify to the
Elections Board (board) its costs incurred in issuing identification cards without
charge, and the board must certify to DOT the amount of costs that the board
determines to be correct. The provisions of the bill are contingent upon the
