SB 741

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.
