10-6-106. Contingent designation method.

(a) Prior to an attack, if for any reason the number of emergency interim successors for any legislator falls below the required minimum and remains below the minimum for a period of thirty (30) days, then the senior legislator of the same house of the judicial district in which the legislator resides shall promptly designate as many emergency interim successors as are required to achieve the minimum number, but the senior legislator shall not assign to any of his designees a rank in order of succession higher than that of any remaining emergency interim successor previously designated by a legislator for succession to his or her own powers and duties.

(b) Each emergency interim successor designated by the senior legislator shall serve at the pleasure of the person designating him or her.

(c) The legislator for whom the emergency interim successor is designated or any subsequent incumbent of his or her office may change the rank in order of succession or replace at his or her pleasure any emergency interim successor so designated.
