The bill amends section 3517.05 of the Revised Code to address situations where multiple organized groups claim to be the rightful county central committee. It requires that in such cases, each group must file a list of its officers and members with the appropriate board of elections. This list will then be certified to the state central committee of the relevant political party, which is tasked with determining and certifying which group is the legitimate county central or executive committee within thirty days of receiving the certification.

Additionally, the bill updates the terminology used in the law by replacing the term "committeeman" with "committeeperson." It also clarifies the process for filling vacancies on the committee and establishes a clear procedure for resolving disputes over committee legitimacy. The existing version of section 3517.05 is repealed to implement these changes.
