This bill would amend the Election Code as it relates to
a person running for office that has been convicted of a felony. Under the provisions of the bill, a candidate with a previous felony conviction would have to provide certain information and acknowledge the conviction certain applications. A person filing as a candidate in an election who fails to acknowledge the felony conviction would commit an offense.
The Secretary of State indicates the modifications outlined in the bill's provisions would not result in a significant fiscal impact. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
