   The prohibition of this section shall not apply to the Governor,

of the State Board of Equalization, a Member of the State Personnel
Board, or a Member of the Legislature; provided, no such person shall

   In the case of illness or other urgent necessity, and upon a
proper showing thereof the time limited for absence from the state
shall be extended by:
   (a) The Governor in the case of state officers.
   (b) The city council or other governing body of the municipality
in the case of municipal officers.

himself from the state for more than 30 days unless either:
   (a) Upon business for the state, county or judicial district,
   (b) With the consent of the board of supervisors of the county.
   In no case shall such officer absent himself from the state for
more than two months without the consent of the board of supervisors,
with the written approval of the Governor, nor shall such absence
continue for a period exceeding six months in any one year.
   This section does not apply to judicial officers.

1064.  No member of the governing board of a school district shall
be absent from the state for more than 60 days, except in any of the
following situations:
   (a) Upon business of the school district with the approval of the
board.
   (b) With the consent of the governing board of the school district
for an additional period not to exceed a total absence of 90 days.
   (c) For federal military deployment, not to exceed an absence of a
total of six months, as a member of the Armed Forces of the United
States or the California National Guard. If the absence of a member
of the governing board of a school district pursuant to this
subdivision exceeds six months, the governing board may approve an
additional six-month absence upon a showing that there is a
reasonable expectation that the member will return within the second
six-month period, and the governing board may appoint an interim
member to serve in his or her absence. If two or more members of the
governing board of a school district are absent by reason of the
circumstances described in this subdivision, and those absences
result in the inability to establish a quorum at a regular meeting,
the governing board may immediately appoint one or more interim
members as necessary to enable the governing board to conduct
business and discharge its responsibilities.
   In the case of illness or other urgent necessity, and upon a
proper showing thereof, the time limited for absence from the state
may be extended by the governing board of the school district for an
additional period not to exceed 30 days.
   (d) The term of an interim member of a school district governing
board appointed pursuant to subdivision (c) may not extend beyond the
return of the absent member, nor may it extend beyond the next
regularly scheduled election for that office.
