Bill > H279

This bill modifies how vacancies are filled on the Haywood County Board of Commissioners by removing Haywood County from a specific list of counties in North Carolina General Statute 153A-27.1(h). The bill's effect is to change the method by which vacancies are filled in Haywood County, reverting to the standard procedure outlined in G.S. 153A-27, which likely means that vacancies will now be filled by appointment by the remaining board members or through a special election, depending on the specific provisions of that statute. The bill applies only to Haywood County and becomes effective immediately upon becoming law, covering any vacancies filled on or after its effective date. This local legislation appears to be making a specific change to how commissioner vacancies are handled in Haywood County, potentially giving local officials more flexibility or aligning the county's procedures with standard state practices.
