SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Appointments to fill vacancies in local offices.  Provides that persons appointed to serve the remainder of a term due to vacancy in a local office shall exercise all powers of the elected office. The bill also affirms that votes cast prior to July 1, 2010, by persons duly appointed to fill a vacancy, including votes appropriating money in excess of $500, imposing taxes, or authorizing the borrowing of moneys, are validated and confirmed as the lawful vote of an elected member of the governing body. Although in conflict with a recent opinion of the Attorney General, the amendments are consistent with case law and an earlier opinion of the Attorney General.
