HB 254 w/ HA 1

5/14/24

Gray

This Amendment addresses timing issues related to the Bill’s requirement that candidates for Town Council provide the results of their criminal background checks. Specifically, the Amendment requires candidates to provide the results of their criminal background check to the Town Manager at least two weeks ahead of the election, rather than just one. The Amendment then requires the Town Manager to publish the list of candidates in a newspaper at least ten days before the election, instead of fifteen days. The Amendment also requires the Town Manager to post the list of candidates on the Town website, at Town Hall, and in four other public places; currently, those postings are in the Town Council’s discretion.
