MODERATE

The bill was amended to streamline the process for small city school board elections by removing the specific five-day window for voters to object to nominating petitions. The text was also updated to reflect the new bill number (S 7150-B) and revised committee status, while retaining the core deadlines for filing petitions and drawing lots for candidate order.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding election procedures remains focused on small city school board elections, but the specific mechanism for voter objections to petitions was removed.

TIMELINE

The provision allowing qualified voters to file objections to nominating petitions for five days after filing was deleted.

The requirement for the board to examine objections and remove ineligible candidates from the ballot was removed.

TECHNICAL

The bill number was updated from S 7150-A to S 7150-B, and the committee status text was reorganized to reflect the bill's current legislative standing.

REQUIREMENT

The title of the act was changed to remove the phrase 'establishing deadlines for finalizing and objecting to nominating petitions,' now focusing only on 'deadlines for filing nominating petitions.'
