SB 5718: Code city government plans

Specifying how code cities may change the plan of government.

Summary

  • When a noncharter code city changes its plan of government, officers serve the remainder of their terms. If the change is from a mayor-council plan of government to a council-manager plan of government, the existing mayor serves as a council member for the remainder of his or her term.
