Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Township Code. Provides that a vacancy in office occurs if a township officer or a member of a township board of directors resigns or is convicted of a disqualifying crime.

Specifies that a conviction for an offense that disqualifies an officer from holding that office or a director from membership on the board occurs on the date of the return of a guilty verdict or, in the case of a trial by the court, the entry of a finding of guilt.
