SB 421 - After January 1, 1999, circuit clerks will be
appointed rather than elected but the clerk initially appointed
will be the clerk holding office on December 31, 1998. The
appointment will be made by the judges of each circuit, en banc.
In those counties where the circuit clerk also serves as recorder
of deeds, the county commission may transfer this function, but
if the commission does not do so, the function shall be
transferred to the assessor by operation of law.
