Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 117, GENERAL PROVISIONS, page 510, after line 18, by adding an appropriately numbered new proviso to read:
/ (GP: Statewide Voting System) Of the funds appropriated to the Department of Administration for a new Statewide Voting System, funds shall be transferred to the State Election Commission at such time as the commission determines that a new voting system with a verifiable paper trail is necessary. However if the State Election Commission determines that critical and necessary upgrades to the existing statewide voting system would insure future elections can be conducted in a reliable and secure manner, these funds may be transferred to the commission and expended for that purpose. Prior to purchase of a new voting system, Federal approval of new voting system standards must be obtained. Upon approval of the system requirements, the funds held by the Department of Administration shall be transferred to the State Election Commission. These funds shall be carried forward from the prior fiscal year into the current fiscal year and shall not be used for any other purpose by the Department of Administration or the State Election Commission. /
