The bill amends the existing law regarding the certification process for school board candidates by the county clerk to the county board of election commissioners. Specifically, it updates the timeline for when the county clerk must certify the names of candidates who are registered voters in the school district and have qualified for the ballot by petition.

The key change involves the deletion of the phrase "day after the deadline for candidates to file for a position on the board of directors by petition" and its replacement with "date of the deadlines under 7-7-304(b)(1)." This adjustment clarifies the specific deadlines that the county clerk must adhere to when certifying candidates, ensuring a more precise and streamlined process for school board elections.
