Bill > HB2605

This bill modifies provisions related to the publication of election notices and the validation of certain bonds. It clarifies that for bond issuances by political subdivisions, if no election contest is filed within the timeframe specified in section 115.557, all conditions of chapter 115 will be considered met. The bill also adjusts the timing for publishing election notices, generally requiring the first publication to occur within six weeks prior to the election, rather than the second week, and allows for mailed notices in certain jurisdictions as an alternative to newspaper publication, with a requirement for publication in one or more county newspapers as well. Additionally, it specifies that candidate or issue removals from ballots must occur no less than eight weeks before an election.
