Bill Summary
For legislation to authorize the acceptance of filing fees in lieu of signatures on nomination papers. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts election laws to allow a $1.00 filing fee to be accepted in lieu of the required number of signatures on nomination papers for any office. This provides an alternative to the traditional petition signature requirement, allowing candidates to pay a fee instead of collecting a specific number of signatures from voters to get their name on the ballot.
