What This Bill Does
It redesigns the Personnel Board to five members: one appointed by the county commission, three appointed by the Marshall County Legislative Delegation, and one elected by county employees. Initial terms are set (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 years) by lot, with all future terms lasting six years; the elected member may be reelected for up to two full terms and appointed members may be reelected. It establishes residency and good-character requirements, restricts holding or seeking elective office during service, and provides for vacancies to be filled the same way as original appointments; the board must convene within 15 days, elect a chair, maintain a quorum of three, take an oath, adopt rules, and have notices of meetings. It also authorizes a monthly expense allowance of $100 to $200 per member and sets an effective date a few months after passage.
