This bill clarifies which candidates can file nomination petitions together. It allows delegate candidates and candidates for multiple legislative offices to use a single joint petition, but excludes candidates running in joint legislative districts from using this option. The change makes the rules for joint petitions more specific about which types of candidates qualify.
