Title

Macon Co., county commission, staggered terms

Summary

HB618 would create staggered terms for Macon County Commission members by initially extending District 2 and District 4 terms to six years and then setting all terms to four years.

What This Bill Does

The bill keeps current elections, but changes term lengths: District 2 and District 4 terms on the act's effective date are extended by two years to six years to create staggered terms. After this initial extension, all county commissioners and the at-large chair would have four-year terms. The act becomes effective immediately after it is passed and approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Macon County commissioners, especially those in District 2 and District 4, whose terms will be extended to six years to establish staggered terms.
• Macon County residents and voters, who will experience the staggered term cycle initially and then vote for four-year terms for all commissioners and the at-large chair.

Key Provisions

• Section 1: After the act's effective date, commissioners shall hold four-year terms, except the District 2 and District 4 terms on the effective date shall be extended by two years to six years to provide for staggered terms; after this extension, all members and the at-large chair shall have four-year terms.
• Section 2: The act becomes effective immediately following its passage and approval by the Governor, or otherwise becoming law.
