Summary
The bill adds a new rule to the Illinois Municipal Code requiring mayoral candidates in large (80,000+ residents) municipalities that use a managerial form of government to gather signatures equal to 3% of the total votes cast in the last mayoral election. It overrides any other signature requirements and takes effect immediately. This changes the ballot access threshold for candidates in those cities.
