Current Bill Summary

SB 854 - Under current law, the members of each senatorial district political party committee are required to meet on the Saturday after each general election for the purpose of electing members to the state political party committee. In lieu of that requirement, this act permits the chair of the congressional district committee where the senatorial district is principally located to call for a meeting to be held concurrently with the election of senatorial officers.

This act is identical to HB 1853 (2020) and substantially similar to a provision in the truly agreed to CCS/SCS/SB 631 (2020), the truly agreed to SS#2/SCS/HCS/HB 1854 (2020), and HCS/SB 552 (2020).
