Election candidacy affidavits modifications
This bill modifies requirements for candidates running for local office in Minnesota. It adds a new disqualification: candidates for county, municipal, or school board positions must not have been convicted of terroristic threats under Minnesota Statute 609.713. The change directly affects individuals seeking these local government roles who have such convictions. The provision becomes a mandatory requirement to hold office, as specified in the amended statute.
