MS SB2536

Limits interim or hold-over appointees in municipal positions to 180 days of service, after which no municipal funds may be expended to compensate them and their actions become invalid.

Specifies the 180-day limit applies either from the expiration of the position's original term or from the date of an interim appointment, whichever is applicable.

Prohibits mayors from resubmitting or reappointing an individual to the same position during the remainder of the mayor's current term if the city council rejects or fails to confirm that individual.

Makes the 180-day service limitation retroactively applicable to all appointees serving in hold-over or interim capacity on the effective date of the act, with their 180-day period commencing on that date.

Conforms Section 21-8-23 by removing language allowing directors to serve "until the appointment and qualification of his successor" to align with the new service limitation requirements.
