SB 3636

Abstract

Amends the Election Code. Requires each candidate to provide to the Board of Elections a notarized certification that he or she has not been convicted of tax fraud and has not been found by any taxing body or court to have intentionally engaged in an act or acts of fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation to achieve a reduction in the amount of taxes due or to avoid paying taxes that would otherwise be owed. Provides that State Board of Elections shall not certify the name of any person who (i) has not filed the certification or (ii) has been convicted of tax fraud or has been found by any taxing body or other unit of government to have intentionally engaged in an act or acts of fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation to achieve a reduction in the amount of taxes due or to avoid paying taxes that would otherwise be owed. Requires the State Board of Elections to generate a list of all such candidates and transmit that list to the election authority.
