Senate Bill 994 amends the Election Code to provide for a candidate in the general election for state and county officers to be declared ineligible for placement on the ballot for failure to pay the filing fee or submit a petition in lieu of the filing fee. The bill authorizes a political party executive committee to make a replacement nomination following such a declaration of ineligibility only if the replacement candidate pays the filing fee or submits a petition in lieu of a filing fee.
