What it does
Public officers; death, resignation, or ceasing to hold office; automatic substitution. Provides that certain provisions providing for the dismissal of an action where a party fails to make a motion for substitution of parties when such motion is necessary do not apply in actions where a public officer is a party in an official capacity, provided that the only claim in such action was made against such public officer in his official capacity, and such officer dies, resigns, or otherwise ceases to hold office while an action is pending. In any such instance, such public officer's successor shall be automatically substituted as a party.
