SB1481 modifies the Park District Code to change the terms of park district commissioners and the process for filling vacancies. If a vacancy occurs with more than 28 months left in the term but less than 151 days before the next regularly scheduled election, the appointed person will hold office until the second election following the appointment. The bill also adjusts the transition schedules for changes in the number of commissioners and their terms, specifying that changes will not affect commissioners holding office at the time of the referendum or those to be elected within 225 days.
