Vacancy Replacement Amendments

Summary

The measure requires the governor to fill U.S. Senate and state legislative vacancies by appointing a person nominated by the same political party as the departing officeholder, and sets a timeline for a special election to permanently fill a Senate vacancy. It also amends related statutes and adds technical conforming changes. The goal is to provide a clear, party‑consistent process for filling vacancies while preserving the electoral timeline.
