What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides procedures by which appointive and elective officials of

political subdivisions may be removed from office. Current law also provides that an

official who is removed from office is ineligible to fill the vacancy created by that

removal. This bill provides that an elective official of a political subdivision who is

removed from office for cause or who resigns during the pendency of a removal

proceeding is ineligible for the elective public office from which the official was

removed. An elective official who resigns during the pendency of a removal

proceeding may regain eligibility by demonstrating to the removing power that the

official would not have been removed for cause and did not resign for purposes of

impeding the removal proceeding.
