Current with changes from the 2024 Legislative Session
The governor shall not issue a commission to any public officer who appears to be a defaulter by the reports on file in his office, unless it is proved to his satisfaction that the person is not a defaulter, or has paid the amount of his defalcation. Unless this proof is made within ninety days from the date of the election or appointment the governor shall order a new election or make a new appointment, as the case may be.
