HCS/SB 104 - This act prohibits any person from being a candidate for elected public office if such person is delinquent in the payment of any state income taxes, personal property taxes, real property taxes on the place of residence, or any county or municipal taxes or user fees. The act further consolidates certain provisions relating to the qualifications of candidates for elective public office into one new section. This act also exempts candidates for special district offices, township offices in township organization counties, or city, town, or village offices from certain statutory requirements pertaining to political parties and the nomination of candidates. Currently, actions challenging the official ballot title or the fiscal note of an initiative or referendum are required to be finally adjudicated within 180 days of filing. This act provides that such actions must also be fully adjudicated more than fifty-six days prior to the election in which the measure shall appear or such action shall be extinguished. Currently, the Springfield School District is an urban school district that was previously exempted from school board member terms of six years in length. This act updates the description of the city of Springfield and provides that the exemption from the six-year school board member term only applies to an urban school district the majority of which is located in the City of Springfield. The act repeals obsolete language relating to the election of school board members in the Springfield School District from the 1960 decennial census. Currently, the St. Joseph School District school board members serve a term of six years. This act establishes that, upon expiration of any term after August 28, 2015, the term of office will be for three years. This act provides that a candidate for school board in the St. Joseph School District file a declaration of candidacy with the board secretary and shall not be required to submit a petition. The act also repeals a provision of law enacted by SS/SCS/HCS #2/HB 63 which prohibits a person from being a candidate for school board after serving as the district's superintendents. This act contains an emergency clause and a severability clause. This act contains provisions which are identical to those in SS/SCS/HCS #2/HB 63 (2015). SCOTT SVAGERA
