AGO Opinion Topics: PROSPECTIVE APPOINTMENT

The death of a newly elected member of the House of Representatives subsequent to his election, but prior to this taking of office on the second Monday in January following his election, does not create any vacancy in the office at the time of his death, but the county commissioners may make a prospective appointment now to take effect January 8, 1951, so long as the county commissioners are not interfering with the rights and prerogatives of their successors, should there be any, taking office January 8, 1951.
