§ 79047 Commission Vacancy Replacement Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a public member leaves the commission (because they can't serve anymore, die, quit, or are removed), their spot must be filled.
  • •The new person is chosen by the secretary from a list of people suggested by the commission.
  • •The new person must meet the same rules as the person they're replacing.
  • •The new person only serves the rest of the term, not a full new term.

Example

A member of a school board quits because they move out of the district.

The board suggests a few people to replace them. The secretary picks one who meets the rules, and that person finishes the term.
