HCS/HB 1457 - This act exempts any county with a charter form of government from a provision requiring certain qualifications for candidates for county treasurer. The provision that charter counties are exempted from under this act also prohibits county sheriffs, marshals, clerks, collectors, or a deputy of any of these officials from becoming a candidate for county treasurer and requires elected treasurers to remain a resident of the county during the term of office. This act creates a new requirement that any treasurer candidate in a non-charter county provide a signed affidavit from a surety company indicating that the candidate meets the bond requirements for office.
