Summary of Legislation
Under current law, a political party central committee of a jurisdiction is required to appoint a vacancy
committee, or if none is appointed, the central committee serves as the vacancy committee. This bill
specifies that vacancy committees, at a minimum, include the members of the jurisdiction’s central
committee. In addition, the bill applies a similar standard for vacancy committees for the office of
county commissioner and the State Board of Education.
Assessment of No Fiscal Impact
While governed by state law, the creation and operation of vacancy committees is managed by
political parties. Thus, this bill does not impact the workload, revenue, or expenditures of any state
agencies or local government and it is assessed as having no fiscal impact.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming no
referendum petition is filed. It applies to vacancies occurring on or after this effective date.
