Senate Committee Substitute

SCS/HCS#2/HB 63 - This act prohibits any person from being appointed to any 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.

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.

The act further 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.

This act contains an emergency clause.
