AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE SUPERIOR COURT TO ENJOIN THE SECRETARY OF THE STATE'S CERTIFICATION OF CONTESTED STATE LEGISLATIVE ELECTION RESULTS.

SB 660 allows Superior Courts to temporarily halt the Secretary of State's certification of contested state legislative election results (for state senator or representative races) when a candidate files a contest. It requires courts to issue an injunction preventing certification until the relevant legislative chamber (Senate or House) resolves the dispute under the state Constitution. This bill directly affects candidates who challenge election outcomes and changes the procedural timeline for resolving such disputes. The key mechanism is the court-ordered pause on certification, ensuring legislative resolution occurs before final results are certified.
