Title

Board of registrars, registrars, reallocation of days a registrar may annually work to another registrar, approval of county commission required, Sec. 17-3-8.1 added

Summary

The bill allows a county board of registrars to reallocate unused working days from one registrar to another to cover absences, with required county commission consent and within existing annual day limits.

What This Bill Does

It adds a new section that lets a quorum of a county board of registrars move unused days between registrars to keep the board functioning for public business, as long as it follows the yearly maximum days. It requires written county commission approval for each pay period when a registrar requests to use another registrar's days. It becomes effective immediately after governor approval.

Who It Affects

• Registrars on county boards: their unused days can be reassigned to cover absences and keep operations running.
• County commissions: must grant written consent for each pay period when days are moved.

Key Provisions

• Adds new Section 17-3-8.1 allowing reallocation of unused working days among registrars within a county board, subject to the annual maximum in Section 17-3-8.
• Written consent of the county commission is required for each pay period during which a registrar uses another registrar's days.
