HB 7785: AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS -- GENERAL STATE OFFICES-NON-PARTISAN ELECTION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL

HB 7785 changes how the state's attorney general is elected, requiring non-partisan elections starting with the 2030 general election. The bill removes party labels and nominations for the attorney general position, meaning candidates will run without political party affiliation, following the same process as independent candidates for other offices. This directly affects future attorney general candidates, who must file as independents rather than party nominees, and voters who will see the attorney general listed without a party designation on ballots. The law amends multiple sections of election statutes to implement this change and takes effect January 1, 2030.
