Title

Macon Co., county commission, staggered terms

Summary

HB244 would create staggered four-year terms for Macon County's county commissioners by temporarily extending District 2 and District 4 terms to six years.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, District 2 and District 4 commissioners would have six-year terms to start a staggered election cycle, while other members keep four-year terms. After those six-year terms, all commissioners and the at-large chair would serve four-year terms, with elections continuing under existing law. The change becomes law after the Governor signs it or it otherwise becomes law.

• All Macon County commissioners (including the at-large chair) — after the initial six-year period, will have four-year terms going forward.

Key Provisions

• Extend District 2 and District 4 county commissioner terms by two years to six years to create a staggered term cycle.
• After the extension, all county commissioners and the at-large chair will serve four-year terms.
• Elections continue to be conducted as provided by existing law.
