SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Elections; qualifications of candidates; residency of candidates for General Assembly. Provides that a person seeking to qualify in a special election as a candidate for the General Assembly who establishes residency in a General Assembly district in which he was not previously a resident within 60 days prior to the date upon which the statement of qualification is due for the office shall be permitted to use his new domicile to serve as his residency for purposes of candidate qualification for that office upon a finding of a circuit court that there is clear and convincing evidence of an intent to abandon the prior domicile and an intent to make the new domicile his permanent residency regardless of the outcome of the election. The bill requires the court to hear the matter not later than five days after the filing of a request for such a determination. The provisions of this section shall not apply in the year a decennial redistricting law is enacted.
