What’s in it

This bill relates to clerks of court. Currently, a clerk of court may be appointed to serve more than one but not more than four contiguous counties in the same judicial district. The bill removes the limit on the number of counties. Currently, an applicant for a clerk of court must be a resident of the state at the time of application. The bill provides that an appointed clerk must be a resident within days of appointment.

Changed since by amendment H-1003; see Amendments.
