SCS/SB 671 - This act establishes minimum qualifications for the offices county collector and county treasurer-collector. Except for county collectors in charter counties, a candidate for such offices must be at least 21 years of age, a resident of the state and the county in which the candidate will serve for one year prior to filing for office, and a registered voter. Candidates for county collector and county treasurer-collector must be current in the payment of state and local taxes. County collector-treasurers are given the sole authority to appoint their deputies and must remain in office until a successor is elected. Once elected, collectors and collector-treasurers must reside in the county for the duration of their terms. In addition, this act specifies that, in the event of a vacancy in the office of county collector-treasurer, the procedure for a county collector vacancy applies rather than the procedure for a county treasurer vacancy. This act is similar to HB 1106 (2012). MEGHAN LUECKE
