Alabama SB194 removes the requirement for candidates to notify the State Ethics Commission of prior filings of economic interests.

Alabama SB194 amends the state ethics law to eliminate the requirement for candidates to notify the State Ethics Commission if they have already filed a statement of economic interests. Previously, candidates had to provide proof of prior filings, but this bill removes that obligation. The law still mandates that candidates file a statement of economic interests within five days of qualifying as a candidate or the first primary election for independent candidates. Failure to file the statement disqualifies the candidate from appearing on the ballot.
