When a county commissioner position becomes vacant, county boards must now fill it within 35 days or by the end of the second regular board meeting after the vacancy occurs, whichever takes longer—extending the previous timeline. The bill also clarifies that remaining board members must appoint a qualified person from the same district where the vacancy happened, and requires the county auditor to participate if an even number of commissioners remain on the board.
