What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, there is no public notice requirement when an incumbent

local elected official whose office is up for election either files a notification of

noncandidacy or fails to file a notification of candidacy within a specified time frame.

Under this bill, if such an incumbent files a notification of noncandidacy or fails

to file a notification of candidacy, that fact and relevant information about the office

must be posted on the Internet and, if time permits, published one time in a local

newspaper. The bill's public notice requirement applies to the clerk or other officer

or body with whom current law requires a notice of candidacy to be filed for a

particular office.
