What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a town or village may provide that candidates for a town or
village elective office may be nominated at a caucus, rather than by filing nomination
papers. This bill eliminates that caucus option and requires the filing of nomination
papers for all town and village elective offices.
Also under current law, certain school districts may, but are not required to,
provide for the filing of nomination papers by candidates for the school board. This
bill requires that nomination papers be filed by all candidates for election to the
school board.
