Relating to: residency requirements for persons circulating nomination papers or recall petitions.

Senate Bill 220 modifies the residency requirements for individuals who collect signatures for political documents. For most candidate nomination papers, the bill expands eligibility, allowing U.S. citizens aged 18 or older to serve as circulators, even if they are not registered voters of the state, provided they would otherwise be eligible to vote. However, for recall petitions, the bill specifically requires circulators to be a qualified elector (registered voter) of the state. These changes directly affect individuals who gather signatures to support candidates or initiate recall efforts.
