§ 78230 Alternate Commission Member Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Each main member of the commission has a backup (alternate) member.
  • •The backup member steps in when the main member is absent or can't serve anymore.
  • •The backup member has the same powers as the main member when filling in.
  • •If the main member leaves or can't do the job, the backup takes over until a new main member is chosen.

Example

Imagine a school club where each leader has a backup. If the main leader is sick or moves away, the backup leader takes their place until a new leader is picked.

This law works the same way. If a main member of the commission can't be there, their backup steps in and does everything the main member would do.

§ 78230 Alternate Commission Member Rules

Except for the ex officio members of the commission, an alternate member for each producer member shall be elected, and for the public member shall be appointed, in the same manner and for the same term as the member. Except as provided in Section 78237, an alternate member shall, in the absence of the member for whom he or she is an alternate, serve in place of the member and shall exercise all of the rights, privileges, and powers of the member when serving on the commission. If the status of a member changes, thereby making the member ineligible to serve, or in the event of the death, removal, resignation, or disqualification of a member, the alternate member shall act as a member of the commission until a qualified successor is elected or appointed. (Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1058, Sec. 1. Effective September 19, 1990.)
