§ 77547 Commission Vacancy Filling Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone on the commission leaves or can't do the job anymore, the rest of the group picks a new person to finish the job.
  • •The new person must have the same skills or qualifications as the person they are replacing.
  • •The new person only stays until the original term is over.

Example

Imagine a school club where one of the leaders moves away.

The rest of the club members vote to pick a new leader to finish the year. The new leader must be just as qualified as the one who left.
