HB 1620 County government; adoption of optional forms.
Introduced by: Peter F. Farrell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Adoption of optional forms of county government. Allows any county to adopt one of the optional forms of county government by a vote of the majority of its governing body. Current law requires any adoption of an optional form of county government to be approved by voter referendum. The five optional forms of county government provided by Title 15.2 are the county board form, the county executive form, the county manager form, the county manager plan, and the urban county executive form. The bill does not alter the additional conditions, specific to each form of government, that current law requires any county to meet before it can adopt that form of government.
