What’s in it
AI summary If a county assessor leaves their job unexpectedly, a local board of officials must appoint someone to fill the position until the term ends. This bill allows that board to set a new, reasonable salary for the person filling the vacancy, even if it is different from the salary originally planned in the yearly budget.1
Read the official explanation
In the event of the removal, resignation, death, or removal from the county of an assessor, the conference board with jurisdiction over the assessor’s position must fill the vacancy by appointing an assessor to serve the previous assessor’s unexpired term. Each year, the salary for the person holding the position of assessor is set in a budget approved by the conference board. This bill allows the conference board to establish a salary for an assessor that has been appointed to fill a vacancy in an amount the conference board determines to be reasonable, even if the amount is different from the salary approved in the conference board’s approved budget.
