AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the North Carolina Constitution to modify the process for filling a vacancy in the office of the Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Attorney General, Commissioner of Agriculture, Commissioner of Labor, and Commissioner of Insurance. The key provision is that if the vacating officer was elected as the nominee of a political party, the Governor must appoint a replacement from a list of three qualified persons recommended by that same political party, if the party submits the recommendation within 30 days of the vacancy. The amendment would be submitted to the voters for approval in the 2024 statewide general election.
