Summary

Existing law prohibits an elective officer of a city from expending, or participating in any action that would expend, city funds between the date a recall election involving that elective officer has been called and the date the certification of the election results is released, as specified. This bill would provide that any contract entered into or appointment made by a legislative body of a local agency, as defined, during the period after the close of the polls on election day for an election involving that legislative body and before a new member of the legislative body is sworn in to take office, shall not take effect until the legislative body, which includes the newly elected member, has reviewed and approved the contract or appointment. This bill would provide an exception for a contract that has a value not to exceed $20,000 and that expires on or before the date that the incoming legislative body is sworn in.
