Revise election laws related to COPP deadlines for municipal candidates

The notification deadline for municipal elections was changed from '5 days after the candidate filing deadline' to a fixed date of 'no later than September 24' (or the preceding Friday if September 24 is a weekend).

Added a new Section 2 establishing that the act becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval.

Added a specific deadline requiring the commissioner to provide election notifications for municipal general elections no later than September 24 (or the preceding Friday if the 24th falls on a weekend).

Renumbered the original Section 2 (notification deadlines) to Section 3 and added a Roman numeral (I) to the first subsection.

Changed the bill title from 'HB 455.1' to 'HB0455.2'.

The effective date was changed from a fixed future date of April 20, 2025, to 'on passage and approval,' meaning the law becomes active immediately upon signing.

A new section was added to specify that the act applies to all municipal elections held on or after April 20, 2025, establishing a clear start date for the new requirements.

The bill number and title were updated to reflect the new House Bill number and the revised effective date language.
