ELECTIONS/CANDIDATES: Increases candidate qualifying fees and dedicates the monies to the Campaign Sign Recycling Fund (EN INCREASE SD RV See Note)

Removed the list of co-sponsoring senators and other representatives, leaving only Representative Beaullieu as the sponsor.

Changed the bill status header from 'ENROLLED' to 'ORIGINAL', indicating this is the initial version rather than the final approved text.

Revised the text regarding the additional qualifying fee for primary election candidates; while the dollar amount listed is twenty-five dollars, the revision alters the statutory language governing how this fee is imposed and deposited.

Added multiple co-sponsors to the bill, including Senators Carter, Fesi, Jenkins, Kleinpeter, Miguez, Miller, Reese, Selders, and Womack.

Adjusted the filing deadline for presidential elector qualifying fees to end at 4:30 p.m. on the first Friday following the third Tuesday in August.

Increased the qualifying fee for presidential elector candidates from $500 to $1,000.

Added a new $25 qualifying fee for candidates not on state or parish party committees, directing these funds to the Campaign Sign Recycling Fund.

Updated page numbering from 6 to 5 and removed the legislative session header line.
