Summary
The bill would change Florida law so that anyone seeking office must have been registered with the political party they intend to represent, or registered without party affiliation, for at least 365 consecutive days before filing. Candidates would have to state this in writing when taking the oath and pay any party assessment, and other candidates or parties could challenge compliance in court. The measure failed to pass.
