Summary
The bill lets candidates for a state representative special election submit their filing paperwork to their town or city clerk instead of the Secretary of State. Clerks must keep the office open at least three days for two hours each day and forward the filings to the Secretary of State the same day. This change aims to make filing more accessible and timely.
