MODERATE

This bill converts a formal enrolled act into a standard house bill format while retaining the same technical corrections to election laws. It clarifies definitions of 'candidate' and updates filing deadlines for election petitions, but the core policy substance remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Changed the document title from 'Enrolled House Bill' to 'House Bill' and updated the session header to reflect the current legislative session.

Replaced the explanatory 'Printing Code' instructions with a standard bill digest summarizing the technical nature of the amendments.

Removed the official 'HEA' (House Enrolled Act) designation and replaced it with standard committee referral history and bill numbering.

Added line numbers to the text of the bill sections for easier reference during review.

Corrected a redundant word in Section 3, removing the duplicate term 'website' in the sentence regarding the secretary of state's internet posting.

REQUIREMENT

Adjusted the deadline for filing statements questioning the validity of a school board nomination petition from 67 days to 74 days before the general election.

Adjusted the deadline for county election boards to determine the validity of a school board nomination petition from 54 days to 60 days before the general election.
