                                  TITLE  59
                          PUBLIC OFFICERS IN GENERAL
                                  CHAPTER 9
                          RESIGNATIONS AND VACANCIES
    59-917.  TEMPORARY INABILITY OF OFFICERS. Whenever for any reason any
elective official of the state, is temporarily unable to perform the duties of
his office, the governor may appoint a suitable person to perform such duties
temporarily as an acting officer, until the incumbent of the office shall be
able to resume the performance of his duties, or a vacancy occurs in such
office. The governor shall require such bonds for persons so appointed as may
appear to him necessary for the protection of the state, not exceeding the
bonds given by the officer in whose stead he acts. Such acting officer shall
be nominated by the incumbent of the office: provided, that when the incumbent
is unable or fails to so nominate, the governor may appoint without such
nomination: provided further, that nothing in this section contained shall be
construed to amend or repeal existing laws relating to filling vacancies in
state offices. In any case involving an office, the appointment to which, at
the time involved would, in case of vacancy, require the consent of the
senate, the consent of the senate shall be requisite to the temporary service
of the acting officer.
