AB 1539: Presidential elections: qualifications for office.

This bill requires a representative from each qualified political party and independent presidential candidate to certify to the state that their nominees are qualified to be elected president under the 22nd amendment. The certification must be made under penalty of perjury, and if not, the nominees' names cannot be placed on the ballot. The bill also prohibits placing names on the ballot if the representative does not certify the nominees' qualifications. This bill expands the crime of perjury and imposes a state-mandated local program. No reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
