Municipal Office Vacancy Modifications

Summary

HB 420 requires a municipal legislative body to appoint a qualified voter to fill a vacancy within 30 days, with public notice and interviews before voting. If the body cannot reach a majority, the bill prescribes a series of tie‑breaking coin tosses and escalates the decision to the lieutenant governor and governor if deadlines are missed. The changes aim to make vacancy appointments more transparent and timely.
