Affidavits of candidacy modified.

HF 804 modifies the affidavit of candidacy requirements for local candidates. It adds a new rule stating that to run for county, municipal, or school board office, a candidate must not have been convicted of terroristic threats under Minnesota Statute 609.713. This change directly affects individuals seeking these local elected positions by disqualifying those with such convictions from filing their candidacy. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 204B.06, specifically adding this eligibility requirement to the affidavit process.
