District agricultural associations: board of directors: vacancies.
Summary
Existing law divides the state into agricultural districts, and provides for the management of these districts by district agricultural associations. Existing law requires the officers of the association to consist of a board of directors of 9 members, establishes a 4-year term of office for the directors, and requires the directors to be appointed by the Governor, as specified. This bill would, if the Governor has not filled a vacancy on the board of directors within 90 days and the board of directors has insufficient membership to establish a quorum, authorize the board of directors to temporarily appoint a director to fill the vacancy and to establish a quorum, as provided. The bill would authorize the Governor to appoint a different director to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term who would replace the temporary director on the board of directors, as specified.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The difference is purely presentational: the first version uses a numbered-line print format while the second is the web page rendering of the same bill text from the California legislature website, including navigation elements and metadata.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted from a numbered-line legislative print layout to a web page layout with navigation menus, search tools, and version tracking metadata. The actual statutory language in Section 3959 of the Food and Agricultural Code is identical in both versions.
