Bill > HB5700

This bill amends the Home Rule City Act to modify the term of office for elected city officials. It states that for city officers elected after December 31, 2024, their terms must not commence earlier than at 12 noon on the first day of the month following their election, even if the city's charter provides for an earlier start date. Additionally, the bill requires individuals elected to fill a vacancy to wait until the results have been certified by the appropriate board of canvassers before taking the oath of office, regardless of any conflicting charter provision.
