SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ''Election
Assistance Commission Termination Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) authorized
annual appropriations of not more than $10,000,000 for the
Election Assistance Commission (EAC) for fiscal years 2003,
2004, and 2005. Funding for additional years has not been
authorized, and in fiscal year 2011 the EAC's budget grew to
nearly $18,000,000.
(2) Between 2007 and 2011, the number of staff at the EAC
grew from 26 to 48 without an increase in statutory
responsibility.
(3) 55 percent of the EAC's fiscal year 2014 budget request
is devoted to management costs, the third consecutive year for
which management costs have exceeded one-half of the EAC's
budget.
(4) The EAC has distributed more than $3.2 billion in
election reform grants to the States. The most recent year for
which appropriations for these grants were enacted or were
requested in the President's annual budget was fiscal year
2010.
(5) The EAC last issued voluntary voting system guidelines
in 2005. A total of 11 voting systems currently hold a
certification from the EAC.
(6) The research division of the EAC has substantially
completed the reports required by HAVA.
(7) The National Association of Secretaries of State
adopted resolutions calling for the dissolution of the EAC in
2005 and 2010.
(8) The EAC has not had a quorum of commissioners since
December 2010, and has not had any commissioners since December
2011. The EAC has not had an Executive Director since December
2011, and has not had a General Counsel since May 2012.
(9) The existence of the EAC is not necessary to the
conduct of Federal elections and is an unnecessary expenditure
of taxpayer funds. Any functions of the EAC worth continuing
can be performed by other government entities, consortia of
government entities, or private associations.
