H119 - Clarify Vacancy Elections - County Commission. (SL 2017-2)

Overview: S.L. 2017-2 clarifies that, in the event of a vacancy during a four-year county board of commissioners' term, the length of the appointment to fill the vacancy is determined by the date of the next general election for county commissioner, not just a general election in which all precincts in that county are open on election day.

This act became effective March 16, 2017, and applies to vacancy elections held on or after that date.
