Title

Principal campaign committee, failure to timely file statement of appointing committee, forfeits qualification to run, Sec. 17-5-4 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, an individual seeking to run for office is required to file, within five days of becoming a candidate, a statement with the Secretary of State or judge of probate appointing his or her principal campaign committee.

This bill would authorize the Secretary of State or judge of probate, as appropriate, to disqualify the individual from appearing on the ballot if he or she determines the individual failed to timely file the statement appointing his or her principal campaign committee.

This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
