AL HB472

Eliminates the requirement that candidates who have already filed a statement of economic interests must provide proof of that filing to the State Ethics Commission when qualifying for candidacy

Amends Section 36-25-15 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which was last modified by Act 2025-282

Adds a new provision requiring election officials to notify non-compliant candidates, who then have five additional days to provide evidence of filing a statement of economic interests

Candidates must still file a statement of economic interests within five days of qualifying, and failure to comply results in removal from the ballot

Takes effect immediately upon passage
