This bill proposes updates to section 38-294 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the process for handling vacancies in office. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that allows for resignations to be submitted by the mayor or council members of a city or town directly to the clerk of that city or town. This addition is marked as 6. By the mayor or the council members of a city or town, to the clerk of the city or town.. Additionally, the bill modifies the numbering of existing provisions by deleting the current numbering for items 6 and 7, and replacing them with new numbers 7 and 8, respectively. The current language stating that resignations not otherwise provided for should be filed with the secretary of state is retained but renumbered, as is the provision regarding appointive officers. The deletions are marked as 6. and 7., while the renumbered provisions are indicated as 7. and 8..
