SB 74 prevents candidates who lose in a primary election from running for the same legislative seat under a different political party's label in that same election year. For example, if someone loses the Republican primary for state Senate, they cannot run for that same seat as a Democratic nominee in the general election.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
