Bill > SF356

This bill modifies the existing state law regarding the terms of county central committee officers in Iowa by explicitly limiting an officer's term to a maximum of two years, even though their term previously continued until a successor was elected and qualified. Under the current law, an officer could potentially serve beyond two years if a new officer was not immediately elected, but this bill ensures that no officer can serve for more than two consecutive years. Specifically, the bill amends Section 43.101 of the Iowa Code to state that while an officer's term still begins at a time specified by the party's state constitution or bylaws and continues until a successor is elected and qualified, an officer cannot serve for longer than two years. This change applies to county central committee officers such as the chair, co-chair, secretary, treasurer, and any other officers the committee may determine. The bill maintains existing provisions allowing for an officer to be removed for reasons like death, resignation, inattention to duty, or incompetency.
