Relating to requirements for a judicial action in which a candidate's eligibility is in issue.

HB 3571 requires that in any court case challenging a candidate's eligibility to run for office, the candidate themselves must be a formal party to the lawsuit. This procedural change ensures candidates are directly involved in legal challenges to their eligibility rather than being absent from proceedings. The law applies only to cases filed on or after September 1, 2025, leaving existing cases governed by prior rules. It does not alter eligibility requirements or standards, only the court process for handling such challenges.
