Summary

State officers and employees; removal of certain officers from office. Repeals an archaic provision that provides that the Secretary of the Commonwealth, State Treasurer, Comptroller, Superintendent of Public Instruction, or Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services may be removed from office by joint vote of the two houses of the General Assembly or, during the recess thereof, may be suspended by the Governor. The repealed statute also provides that this power shall not be exercised by the Governor except for misbehavior, incapacity, neglect of official duty, or acts performed without due authority of law and that in any case in which this power is so exercised by the Governor, he shall fill the office by a temporary appointment and report to the General Assembly, at the beginning of the next session thereof, the fact of such suspension and the cause therefor, whereupon the General Assembly shall determine whether such officer shall be restored or finally removed.
