On page 4, beginning on line 7, after "practice" strike all material through "process" on line 11 and insert "that is facially discriminatory. A court may find that a political subdivision is in violation of this section only upon a finding that the challenged election policy or practice is facially discriminatory and has been in effect for at least 10 years"

EFFECT: Modifies the prohibition on the abridgment of voting rights to remove provisions making it a violation to implement an election policy or take any action that results in, is likely to result in, or is intended to result in a material disparate burden on the ability of members of a protected class to vote, and instead makes it a violation to implement an election policy that is facially discriminatory and has been in effect for at least 10 years.
