A bill for an act concerning county and city administration, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

SF 497 requires county boards of supervisors and city councils to use a majority vote motion or resolution to fire county managers, city managers, or similar executives (including those with different job titles). This applies only to new employment contracts or renewals signed after the bill's effective date. The bill changes current practice by preventing unilateral termination without a formal vote. It directly affects county/city executive positions and the governing bodies that hire them.
