§ 12315 Precinct Board Substitute Appointment

This law says that if the inspector stops doing their job, most of the board members who are still there can choose a new inspector.

Key Takeaways

  • •If the inspector stops acting, the board can replace them.
  • •Only the members who are still on the board can vote.
  • •A majority (more than half) of those members must agree to pick a substitute.

Example

The health inspector for a neighborhood stops coming to work, and the remaining board members need to find someone else.

Because the inspector stopped working, the board members who are still on the board can vote, and if most of them agree, they can pick a new inspector to take over.
