Bill Summary
General Description: This bill address vacancies in elected office.
AI Summary
This bill amends several Utah statutes to clarify and standardize procedures for filling midterm vacancies in various elected and appointed offices, including special district boards, county offices, municipal offices, and local school boards, by ensuring that appointments are made by the appropriate body, often involving political party liaisons for partisan offices, and by establishing clearer timelines and notification requirements. It also introduces the concept of an "interim vacancy period" to prevent appointments during the transition between election and the start of a new term, and requires conflict of interest disclosures for individuals seeking appointment to fill these vacancies.
