The proposed bill amends the existing laws regarding the nomination process for candidates seeking to be delegates to national presidential conventions. Specifically, it reduces the required number of signatures on nomination papers from 150 to 50 eligible voters. Additionally, the timeline for submitting these nomination papers is adjusted, moving the deadline from 56 days to 54 days before the presidential preference primary. The local boards of canvassers are also given a shorter timeframe to certify these papers, with the new deadline set at 50 days prior to the primary instead of 53 days.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the process for candidates to submit documentation confirming their approval from presidential nominees or steering committees, which is necessary for delegates to be identified with those candidates. It establishes that once nomination papers are certified, they are presumed valid unless objections are raised, and it sets a deadline for the state board of elections to render decisions on any objections. This act is intended to streamline the nomination process and will take effect upon passage.
