Bill > HB2145

This bill establishes a new structure for the Butler County Fair Board, specifying that the board will consist of 15 members who are appointed annually in December by the county commissioners. The board will aim to have one member appointed from each county commissioner district, with up to five additional members potentially appointed from the county at large. Any legal voting age resident of the county is eligible for board membership. Board members will serve three-year terms starting January 1 and ending December 31, with members being eligible to serve unlimited consecutive terms. If a vacancy occurs, the remaining board members will appoint a replacement to complete the unexpired term. The board will elect its own leadership, including a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer from among its members. This bill amends existing law regarding county fair boards, specifically updating provisions for board composition and appointment processes, and repeals two existing statutory sections related to fair boards.
