§ 77058 Handler Vacancy Replacement

Key Takeaways

  • •If a handler member or alternate handler member leaves the commission (because they can't serve anymore, they die, they're removed, or they quit), the remaining handler members get to pick someone new to fill the empty spot.
  • •The new person has to finish the rest of the term (the time left) of the person who left.
  • •The new person must meet all the same rules and qualifications as the person they're replacing.

Example

Imagine a group of farmers who help make decisions for their community. One farmer quits because he stops farming. The other farmers in the group vote to pick a new farmer to take his place.

The new farmer has to follow all the same rules as the old farmer and will only stay in the group for the time that was left for the farmer who quit.
