California Governor Signs Bill Requiring Parties that Run Presidential Nominees to Attach Declarations that Nominee Complies With the 22nd Amendment

On September 30, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1539, which requires political parties that nominate a presidential candidate to attach paperwork, certifying that the nominee is not in violation of the 22nd amendment (the term limits amendment for president and vice-president). The law also applies to declared write-in presidential candidates, and independent presidential candidates. No other state requires such declarations.
