Public Laws passed at the January session of 1906 are listed. The chapters of the Public Laws are numbered continuously from the General Laws Revision of 189. The record notes the official sequence and authority for the enacted statutes.
The 1906 act formalizes use of state city and town voting machines after approval by the state returning board. It defines terms, sets approval and printing of instructions, and mandates machine standards, face plates, counters, locks, and seals for secrecy and accuracy. It details funding, procurement, custody, operations, and penalties for tampering or improper conduct.
The act amends General Laws to appropriate thirteen hundred dollars annually for the state library with eight hundred for books and supplies and five hundred for clerks and expenses. It adds five hundred dollars from the treasury to carry out the act and directs the state auditor to issue orders on the general treasurer. The act takes effect upon passage and repeals inconsistent prior acts.
