Bill > HB3260

This bill amends the Township Code to modify the notice requirements for political party caucuses at the township level. Specifically, the bill extends the timeline for various notification deadlines related to these caucuses. Under the revised law, the notice of a caucus must now be published at least 20 days (increased from 10 days) before the caucus is held in a newspaper with general circulation in the township. The township clerk is now required to notify the chairman or membership of each township central committee by first-class mail at least 45 days (extended from 30 days) before the caucus about their obligation to report the caucus time and location. Additionally, each chairman of the township central committee must now notify the township clerk by first-class mail of the caucus time and location at least 30 days (increased from 20 days) before the caucus. These changes provide more advance notice and preparation time for political parties and township officials when organizing and communicating about local party caucuses, which are held on the first Tuesday in December preceding the regular township election to nominate candidates for various offices.
