The purpose of this bill is to clarify the responsibility of the Governor to fill a vacancy in the state legislature. The bill provides a process for the selection of three legally qualified persons to fill a vacancy in the office of state senator or House of Delegates, allows for virtual candidate interviews where more than three candidates apply, and clarifies the interview process. It also provides that a party county chairman appoint a subcommittee to act as vacancy committee where a senate or delegate district is wholly within one county.
