Municipal Office Vacancy Modifications

Summary

The bill requires Utah municipalities to appoint a qualified voter to fill a vacant executive or legislative seat within 30 days, after giving at least 14 days’ public notice and interviewing candidates. It sets a two‑round voting process with coin‑toss or lot tie‑breakers and allows the lieutenant governor and governor to step in if local bodies miss deadlines. Conflict‑of‑interest disclosures must be filed and posted online for public review.
