1 2 unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 2003, is amended to read as
1 3 follows:
1 4 By appointment by the board of supervisors. The

1 7 forty days after the vacancy occurs. If the board of
1 8 supervisors chooses to proceed under this paragraph, the board
1 9 shall publish notice in the manner prescribed by section
1 10 331.305 stating that the board intends to fill the vacancy by
1 11 appointment but that the electors of the county have the right
1 12 to file a petition requiring that the vacancy be filled by
1 13 special election. The board may publish notice in advance if
1 14 an elected official submits a resignation to take effect at a
1 15 future date. The board may make an appointment to fill the
1 16 vacancy after the notice is published or after the vacancy
1 17 occurs, whichever is later. A person appointed to an office
1 18 under this subsection, except for a county attorney, shall
1 19 have actually resided in the county which the appointee
1 20 represents sixty days prior to appointment. A person
1 21 appointed to the office of county attorney shall be a resident
1 22 of the county at the time of appointment.
1 23 EXPLANATION
1 24 This bill relates to filling the office of county attorney
1 25 by appointment.

1 27 becomes vacant and the board of supervisors chooses to fill
1 28 the vacancy by appointment pending the next election, the
