CS/SB 696 (Ingoglia) and HB 729 (Holcomb) prohibit a municipality from renewing, extending, or renegotiating employments contracts with the Chief Executive Officer of a municipality or a municipal attorney within 12 months before an August primary election for the municipality’s mayor or for members of the governing body. CS/SB 696 amended the original bill to now prohibit a municipality from renewing or extending employments contracts with the Chief Executive Officer of a municipality or the city’s general counsel within eight months before a general election for the municipality’s mayor or for members of the governing body.  (Chapman)
