  • S-5208Strike everything · filed April 22, 2026 by Sen. Dawn Driscoll (R)
    AI summary This amendment replaces the entire bill. It establishes that township officers in counties with populations under 75,000 (and certain high-value townships) will be appointed by the board of supervisors rather than elected, while other townships will continue to elect their officers. It also requires new appointees to complete training on budgets and duties and creates new requirements for township clerks to submit annual financial reports.
