Summary

The bill sets a detailed order of who assumes the governorship if the governor, lieutenant governor, and other key officials cannot serve, either permanently or temporarily. It moves through the speaker of the House, treasurer, secretary of state, comptroller, attorney general, Senate majority leader, and finally the House majority leader.
