                         AND JUDICIAL SUCCESSION ACT
    59-1407.  EMERGENCY INTERIM SUCCESSORS FOR LOCAL OFFICERS. The provisions
of this section shall be applicable to officers of political subdivisions
(including, but not limited to, cities, towns, villages, townships, and
counties, as well as school, fire, power and drainage districts) not included
in section 59-1406[, Idaho Code]. Such officers, subject to such regulations
as the executive head of the political subdivision may issue, shall upon
approval of this act, designate by title (if feasible) or by named person,
emergency interim successors and specify their order of succession. The
officer shall review and revise, as necessary, designations made pursuant to
this act to insure their current status. The officer will designate a
sufficient number of persons so that there will be not less than three (3),
nor more than seven (7), deputies or emergency interim successors or any
combination thereof at any time. In the event that any officer of any
political subdivision (or his deputy provided for pursuant to law) is
unavailable, the powers of the office shall be exercised and duties shall be
discharged by his designated emergency interim successors in the order
specified. The emergency interim successor shall exercise the powers and
discharge the duties of the office to which designated until such time as a
vacancy which may exist shall be filled in accordance with the constitution or
statutes or until the officer (or his deputy or a preceding emergency interim
successor) again becomes available to exercise the powers and discharge the
duties of his office.
