2005 Idaho Code - 59-408 — TEMPORARY INABILITY OF OFFICERS

                                  TITLE  59
                          PUBLIC OFFICERS IN GENERAL
                                  CHAPTER 4
                                OATH OF OFFICE
    59-408.  TEMPORARY INABILITY OF OFFICERS. In the event any county elective
official shall be unable to serve, due to illness, injury or on account of
war, war industries, job freezing or being a member of any branch of the armed
forces of the United States of America, it shall be the duty of the county
commissioners to appoint a qualified person to temporarily discharge the
duties of the office as an acting officer. If possible, the person appointed
must be chosen from the same political party as that of the elective official
who is unable to serve.
    This appointment shall remain in full force and effect until the duly
elected official shall be able to assume the duties of his office. Providing,
however, that no person so appointed by the commissioners shall receive
remuneration different than that which would have been received by the
elective official, whose place the acting officer is filling; and provided
further, that no acting officer appointed shall serve a term longer than that
for which the elected official was chosen.
