General registrars; term of office and exception from general early retirement provisions. Extends the term of office of general registrars from four years to eight years beginning on July 1, 2029, and extends the term of any general registrar serving on the effective date of the bill until June 30, 2029. The bill also provides that, in making an appointment of a general registrar, there shall be a presumption that an incumbent general registrar seeks to continue in office unless such general registrar notifies the electoral board in writing to the contrary. The bill adds general registrars to the list of officers who are exempted from general early retirement provisions and may obtain normal retirement benefits when they are involuntarily separated from service and have 20 or more years of creditable service.
