HB496 repeals the 2008 law that required Russell County to hold special elections to fill county commission vacancies when there is a year or more left on the term.
It repeals Act 2008-413, which mandated special elections for county commission vacancies with a remaining term of a year or more. As a result, Russell County is no longer bound by that special-election requirement for filling those vacancies. The repeal takes effect immediately after the Governor signs the bill. The summary does not specify what process will replace the repealed rule.
Delivered to Governor at 5:01 p.m. on April 6, 2021.
