Current Bill Summary

SB 815 - Under current law, the period for filing a declaration of candidacy in certain political subdivisions and special districts is from 8:00 a.m. on the 16th Tuesday prior to the election until 5:00 p.m. on the 11th Tuesday prior to the election.

This act changes that period to 8:00 a.m. on the 17th Tuesday prior to the election until 5:00 p.m. on the 14th Tuesday prior to the election.

This act is identical to a provision in the truly agreed to SS#2/SCS/HCS/HB 1854 (2020) and SB 402 (2019) and substantially similar to HB 595 (2019).
