What does this amendment do?

This amendment revises the procedure for independent candidates to file nomination petitions by requiring notice of intent before filing and establishing a 14-day filing window.

Changes the requirement so that independent candidates must give notice of their intention to be nominated by petition to the secretary of state and county clerk, rather than simply filing petitions with them. (Page 6, lines 13-6)
Removes the phrase 'shall be filed' from the filing requirement language. (Page 6, line 14)
Adds a provision that candidates have not more than 14 additional days after giving notice of their intention to file the actual petition with the secretary of state and county clerk. (Page 6, lines 16-16)
