AI Summary

This bill amends and adds to existing law to provide that a person's residence for voting purposes shall be the homestead for which the person claims a certain tax exemption. It also provides for an investigation into candidate qualifications, requiring the Secretary of State or a county clerk to investigate the legal qualifications of a candidate for office and exclude from the ballot any candidate who fails to satisfy the legal qualifications. The bill further requires the State Tax Commission to establish a database of all active homestead tax exemptions by July 1, 2023, which can be used to verify that a person's residence for voting purposes is the same as the homestead for which they claim the exemption.
