LOCAL GOVERNMENT-TECH

This bill amends the Township Code to clarify how vacancies in local government offices should be filled and managed. It specifies that if an office becomes vacant due to reasons such as resignation, failure to qualify, or conviction of a crime, the township board must appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of the term. The legislation also outlines procedures for appointing temporary deputies to handle specific duties when an office is temporarily vacant and requires that permanent appointees generally belong to the same political party as the person who left the office.
