This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify and implement certain provisions governing the impeachment, trial, removal from office, and disqualification of public officers. It amends Section 5 of Article XV to specify that officers against whom articles of impeachment may be preferred shall be suspended from the exercise of their duties, with ordinary pay, during the pendency of such impeachment. It also allows the Governor to make a provisional appointment to fill the vacancy caused by the suspension of an officer, other than the Governor, until the decision on the impeachment.
