New HampshireCommission term rule would not itself extend appointees' service
For commission appointees covered by the five-year term rule, the proposal would omit permission to serve until a replacement is appointed and qualified.
What it does
The proposed five-year term rule would not itself let covered commission appointees stay until a replacement is appointed and qualified. Another membership rule could still apply.
Argument forLeaving the extension out of this term rule could help officials plan replacement appointments before a covered member's five-year term ends.
Argument againstIf no other rule lets a covered appointee stay, a commission seat could be vacant until a replacement is appointed and qualified.
More detail
The proposed term rule would not itself let covered appointees serve until a replacement is appointed and qualified. It would cover appointed members of New Hampshire's higher education commission unless another membership rule sets their terms. Had the bill passed, this rule would have taken effect 60 days after passage.
