§ 101105 Director Term Succession

Public Utilities Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says that a new director must be chosen within 30 days before the current director's term ends, and the same group that normally picks that kind of director does the appointment.

Key Takeaways

•A replacement must be named within the 30 days before a director’s term finishes.
•The appointment is done by the same body that is normally allowed to pick that class of director.
•The rule prevents a director’s seat from being left empty.

Example

A city council member's term ends on July 31. The council must pick a replacement by July 1, and the council itself (the group that normally selects council members) makes the appointment.

Because the law requires a successor to be chosen within the 30‑day window before the term ends, the council has to act by July 1 to avoid the seat being empty.
