DESCRIPTION



This act requires each County Treasurer to designate in writing a qualified individual to act temporarily on his/her behalf in the instance when the County Treasurer is incapacitated so as to be unable to complete the duties of the office.

The act requires that the designee cannot by statute be ineligible to serve as a County Treasurer. The designee must also take an oath and give a bond in the same manner as the County Treasurer. The designee shall only be given authority to perform the duties of the County Treasurer until the County Treasurer confirms in writing that he/she has the requisite capacity to act again as County Treasurer or for a maximum of 60 days, whichever occurs first. Sixty days after the designee has taken the oath of office, the office shall be considered vacant and filled according to the provisions of Section 105.030, RSMo.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
