Bill > SB366

This bill revises the notification process for county political party central committee conventions by modifying existing state law. Specifically, the bill allows county central committee presiding officers to notify precinct committee representatives about the upcoming county convention via email in addition to traditional mail. Currently, the law requires mailing a physical copy of the convention call, but this amendment adds email as an acceptable notification method. The bill maintains other existing requirements, such as publishing the convention call in a newspaper at the county seat at least 4 days before the event, and preserving rules about who can participate in the convention (only duly elected or appointed committee representatives or officers). The change provides more flexibility in communication while keeping the core process of organizing county political party conventions intact, potentially making it easier and more cost-effective for committees to communicate with their representatives.
