Mr chairman is represented Brian S. this bill is Right to us by the association counties it's it's it's more of a clean up just give you background on the bill the statute that this is referring to the in the Section one there fourteen yes fourteen to six oh nine. The concerning the alternative County organizations. Before we get to that the end of this section. We look back at fourteen at fourteen six oh three it's identifying those as the constitutional officers of the county to exclude justice of the peace to start talking about for years. To coincide with Torio races they're not talking about J. P. races are talking about the other county races that are coincide with curatorial races. So most of this bill is just clean up where if the county approves a proposed plan within that alternative County organization that it'll happen after the next election cycle that includes the crease and or changes and county salaries As well as. Ensuring that the qualified electors coincide with the gubernatorial so it's getting rid of the two year language prior to the passage of the the four year terms for county or is this offices but excludes justice of the peace.
