BILL NUMBER: S6421

SPONSOR: MYRIE
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the election law, in relation to party
committee meeting and organization requirements

 
PURPOSE:

This bill would ensure that the timeframe for political parties to meet
and organize their county committees would fit within the new political
calendar necessitated by a newly combined state and federal June prima-
ry.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 1 of § 2-112 of the election
law to require every county committee to hold its organization meeting
between September 17th and October 6th following the June primary. The
bill further provides clarification that until such organization meeting
occurs, the legal authority to act resides with the existing county
committee, which then transfers to the newly authorized county committee

upon the conclusion of such organization meeting.

Section 2 provides for the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In January 2019 the legislature passed legislation combining the state
and federal primaries to be held on the fourth Tuesday in June. This
primary date change also necessitated numerous changes to the political
calendar. In accordance with the newly enacted political calendar, this
bill requires county committees to hold their organization meeting
between September 17 and October 6 following the June primary. Further-
more, there have been questions raised as to the whether the legal
authority to act is vested in the previously constituted committee or
the newly elected committee prior to the organization meeting following
the primary election. This bill provides clarification that such author-
ity is vested in the old committee until the conclusion of the organiza-
tion meeting when such legal authority to act transfers to the newly
formed committee.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

This legislation is not expected to have any impact on state or local
governments.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
