SB75 changes the rules for who can run as a candidate to fill an open office when a vacancy occurs mid-term. The bill revises the eligibility requirements that currently restrict certain individuals from being candidates in special elections or appointment processes. Without seeing the specific amendments, the change likely either expands or narrows the pool of people legally allowed to seek these vacant positions.
