Candidate Qualifying

Summary

The bill adds new disclosure requirements to the candidate oath, including any outstanding fines over $250 and, for federal office seekers, whether they plan to trade stocks. It also creates a fast‑track court process for parties or committees to challenge a candidate’s eligibility, with the possibility of removing the name from the ballot. The measure failed to pass, though a companion bill (HB 991) was enacted.
