MODERATE

The bill was finalized by removing the Open Meetings Act section and replacing it with a new section on filling vacancies in township offices. This change ensures that if a township office becomes vacant, a replacement is appointed quickly, with specific rules for deputies and political party affiliation to maintain continuity in local government.

Scope change

The bill's scope shifted from regulating public meeting notices to regulating the appointment process for vacant township offices.

REQUIREMENT

The section requiring public notice for Open Meetings Act meetings was removed from the final version.

A new section was added to the Township Code detailing how vacancies in township offices must be filled by appointment.

The bill added specific provisions for appointing temporary deputies to perform ministerial duties while a vacancy is being filled.

ELIGIBILITY

New rules were established requiring appointed replacements to match the political party of the person who vacated the office.

TIMELINE

A requirement was added that a special township meeting must be called if a vacancy on the township board is not filled within 60 days.
