HB 1250 - This act allows certain third class cities to eliminate, by ordinance or order, primary elections for mayor and councilmen offices. Any person wishing to become a candidate for these offices must file a statement of candidacy with the city clerk in order to be placed on the ballot. In addition, this act removes the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June as a date available for public elections. Also, tax elections necessitated by a financial hardship due to a 5% or greater decline in per-pupil state revenue to a school district from the previous year may be conducted at any time.
Voters in the City of Farmington may place an ordinance on the ballot to restrict smoking in establishments and areas within the city.
This act contains provisions identical to SCS/SB 569 (2012).
