MODERATE

The bill was revised to significantly reduce its scope by removing provisions related to bond elections, tax elections, and presidential preference primaries. The remaining text focuses on streamlining notification requirements for special elections and establishing a standard eight-week deadline for placing issues on a ballot.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed from repealing and replacing thirteen sections to repealing and replacing only seven sections, effectively removing rules for bond and tax elections from this specific legislative update.

SCOPE

Provisions regarding bond elections necessitated by disasters and tax elections due to financial hardship were removed from the bill.

Rules specifically governing presidential preference primary election dates were deleted.

TIMELINE

A new requirement was added prohibiting courts from ordering any individual or issue to appear on a ballot less than eight weeks before the election date.

REQUIREMENT

Notification procedures for special elections were updated to allow for email or fax transmission prior to the deadline, provided original copies are submitted shortly after.
