SB553 creates a process to fill Perry County Commission vacancies by requiring a special election within 60 to 90 days for seats with 12 months or more left in the term.
If a Perry County Commission seat has 12 months or more remaining when it becomes vacant, the judge of probate must arrange a special election to fill the vacancy. The election must be held no sooner than 60 days and no later than 90 days after the vacancy occurs. The election, including any necessary primaries, will be conducted under the laws that govern elections, and the winner serves the remainder of the unexpired term. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it is passed and approved by the Governor (or becomes law otherwise).
