CT HB05387

Removes the requirement that circulators of nominating petitions be residents of a town in Connecticut, keeping only the requirements that they be U.S. citizens at least 18 years old and not on parole for felony conviction.

Modifies the circulator's statement on nominating petition pages to require an agreement to submit to state jurisdiction in any case or controversy arising from petition circulation.

Removes references to "residency in this state" from the eligibility statements that circulators must certify on petition pages.

Updates language throughout the statutes to use gender-neutral terminology and improve grammatical clarity regarding circulator affidavits and signature authenticity.

All changes apply to nominating petitions circulated on or after the bill's effective date.
