Summary

HB 377 would align Ocean View town-council candidate filing deadlines with the mayor’s 45-day requirement, standardizing filing timelines across staggered three-year terms; the committee voted to release the bill.

Representative Gray presented HB 377 on behalf of the Town of Ocean View, proposing a narrow charter amendment to make council-candidate filing deadlines consistent with the mayor’s 45‑day filing requirement. Gray explained Ocean View’s staggered three-year terms and said the change would reduce confusion when mayoral and council filing windows differ.

There were no questions from the committee and no public comment. A motion to release was made and seconded; recorded roll-call votes were affirmative and HB 377 was released from committee.

Next steps: HB 377 will be posted and may proceed to further consideration by the House.
