Expands deadline for filing financial disclosure statements by candidates for Governor and member of Legislature.
This bill changes the deadline for candidates for Governor and legislative office to file financial disclosure statements. Governor candidates will now file within 30 days after the primary petition deadline (instead of 10 days), and legislative candidates will file by May 15th - aligning with the existing deadline for sitting legislators. The change, recommended by the Election Law Enforcement Commission, aims to give candidates more time to complete forms accurately and improve compliance with disclosure laws. It directly affects all candidates running for these statewide and legislative positions in New Jersey.
