What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
