What’s in it
This bill concerns county supervisor representation plans and county supervisor vacancies. DIVISION I —— PLAN “THREE” COUNTY SUPERVISOR REPRESENTATION PLANS. This division requires a county with a population of 125,000 or more based on the most recent federal decennial census to use plan “three” for the election of county supervisors. Plan “three” requires individual members of the board of supervisors for that county to be elected from single-member equal-population districts. The bill provides that a county with a population of 125,000 or more as of the effective date of the bill, that does not use plan “three” as of that date for the election of supervisors shall not be required to elect supervisors under plan “three” until the election for supervisors in 2026 following adoption of a representation plan in conformity with the provisions of law governing the adoption of a plan “three” representation plan.

DIVISION II —— COUNTY SUPERVISOR VACANCIES. This division requires vacancies on the board of supervisors to be filled by special election in a county with a population of 125,000 or more. Current law allows for vacancies to be filled by appointment under certain circumstances. The bill requires vacancies to be filled by appointment in a county with a population of less than 125,000 in accordance with current law, including a vacancy that is treated as a resignation due to the physical or mental status of a supervisor. DIVISION III —— EFFECTIVE DATE. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
