ELECTIONS/CANDIDATES: Provides for qualifying fees for certain elections in 2026 (Item #1)
This bill's title ("ELECTIONS/CANDIDATES: Provides for qualifying fees for certain elections in 2026") appears inconsistent with the actual bill text, which is titled the "Omnibus Bond Authorization Act of 2025." The bill does not address elections or qualifying fees. Instead, it repeals outdated general obligation bond authorizations for state capital projects and reauthorizes bonds for essential projects included in the 2025 Capital Outlay Act. It requires state agencies to dedicate specific revenues (like student fees) to repay debt service on new bonds, with funds deposited into a Bond Security and Redemption Fund. This bill directly affects state agencies managing capital projects and the state's fiscal management of bond debt.
