SENATE BILL No. 1478

 

 

September 7, 2010, Introduced by Senators VAN WOERKOM, GILBERT, NOFS, GLEASON and ALLEN and referred to the Committee on Transportation.

 

 

 

     A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled

 

"Michigan election law,"

 

by amending section 269 (MCL 168.269), as amended by 1990 PA 7.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 269. If a vacancy occurs in the office of county road

 

commissioner, a qualified person shall be appointed to fill the

 

vacancy by the county board of commissioners. If a vacancy occurs

 

in a single-member county road commission district, a qualified

 

person from that single-member district shall be appointed to fill

 

the vacancy by the county board of commissioners. The person so

 

appointed shall take the oath of office, give bond in the manner

 

required by law, and hold office for the remainder of the unexpired

 

term and until a successor is elected and qualified. However, in a

 


county in which county road commissioners are elected, if the next

 

general November election is to be held more than 182 days after

 

the vacancy occurs, and it is not the general November election at

 

which a successor in office would be elected if there were no

 

vacancy, the person appointed shall hold office only until a

 

successor is elected at the next general November election in the

 

manner provided by law and qualifies for office. The successor

 

shall hold the office for the remainder of the unexpired term.

 

     Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect

 

unless all of the following bills of the 95th Legislature are

 

enacted into law:

 

     (a) Senate Bill No. 1108.

 

     (b) Senate Bill No. 1109.

 

     (c) Senate Bill No. 1110.
