What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides terms of office for appointed local officers for which no term

is currently specified by statute. Under the bill, the term of any officer who is

appointed by a political subdivision's chief executive ends on the date that the chief

executive's term ends or an earlier date provided by ordinance. The term of any

officer who is appointed by a political subdivision's governing body ends after two

years or an earlier date provided by ordinance. The term of any officer who is

appointed by a local officer who is serving an indefinite term ends after two years or

an earlier date provided by ordinance. The term of any other appointed officer is

provided by ordinance. The bill also provides that, unless otherwise specifically

provided by statute, an appointive local office is vacant at the expiration of the

appointed officer's term.
