Summary

Committee members said the board’s home‑rule request to let deputy county attorneys reside in contiguous counties passed both legislative houses and is awaiting the governor’s signature; board thanked local assembly members Simpson, Runner and Bet and Senators Ashby and Stec for support.

A board member updated the Personnel Committee on June 11 that earlier in the year the board passed a home‑rule request to permit deputy county attorneys to reside in a contiguous county. The speaker said both legislative houses approved the measure and that it is now awaiting action by the governor.

The speaker publicly thanked Assembly members Simpson, Runner and Bet and Senators Ashby and Stec for their roles in advancing the request. "So, it's now simply waiting to be called to the governor's desk," the speaker said.

What’s next: The change will take effect only if the governor signs the measure; the board said it will monitor for final executive action and then proceed with any required administrative follow‑up.
