Succession To Other State Offices and Local Officers
All state officers (e.g. the Attorney General, State Treasurer, etc.), other than the Governor, and local officers (e.g. Mayor, County Commissioner, etc.) must designate an Emergency Interim Successor to exercise their powers in their absence. Such designation are subject to the such regulations as the Governor may determine. The state or local officer must designate no less than three but no more than seven Successors. Such list of Successors may be amended as necessary by the state officer.
In the event that any state or local officer is unavailable following a state of emergency, and in the event a deputy (if any) is also unavailable, the powers of the office are exercised the designated Emergency Interim Successors in the order specified by the state officer. The authority of a Successor ceases:
- when the incumbent state or local officer, or a deputy or an interim successor higher in designation becomes available to exercise the powers and to perform the duties of the office
- when a successor to the office has been duly elected or appointed according to law.
