Relative to the time in which candidates for state representative may file their candidacy for a special election.

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the rules for state representative candidates filing for a special election. It allows these candidates to file their paperwork with their town or city clerk for at least three days during the filing week. If the clerk's office isn't open for that time, the clerk must provide contact information for someone who can accept the filing.
