Proposed replacing 'domicile' with 'continuous primary residence,' shortening the residency requirement to one year, moving candidate qualification to the Board of Elections, and applying any changes starting with the November 3 election cycle.

Favored keeping things simple with the Maryland domicile definition, transferring candidate qualification to the Board of Supervisors of Elections, a one-year residency requirement, and dropping the short-term rental language.
