Bill > HB5701

This bill amends the General Law Village Act to modify the term of office for elected village officials. The key provisions are: 1. The term of office for the village president, clerk, and treasurer will begin on December 1 after their election, rather than November 20 as previously specified. 2. The term of office for village trustees will also begin on December 1 after their election, rather than November 20. 3. The bill outlines the process for filling vacancies in elected village offices, including calling for a special election in certain circumstances. 4. It also specifies that individuals elected to fill a vacancy cannot take the oath of office until the election results have been certified by the appropriate board of canvassers. Overall, the bill adjusts the starting date of terms for various elected village officials and provides more detailed procedures for handling vacancies in these positions.
