Requires the state board of elections to conduct a background check on all candidates which appear on a ballot

This bill requires the state Board of Elections to conduct background checks on every candidate appearing on a ballot, no later than 30 days before an election. It directly affects all candidates running for office in state elections, as the board must verify their backgrounds before ballots are finalized. The key provision mandates the board to complete these checks within a strict 30-day window prior to each election, adding a new administrative step to the election process. The bill does not specify the scope of background checks or penalties for non-compliance, focusing solely on the procedural requirement.
