HB 588 (2019)
Summary:
Revises the declaration of candidacy form for presidential candidates so that a candidate does not have to be a formal member of the political party he or she is seeking to run in, and instead only needs to be "a recognized candidate for President in the party in which I desire to file." This could impact candidates such as Bernie Sanders, who is an independent in the U.S. Senate but ran for president as a Democrat.
