3elected State central committeeperson for that congressional
4district.
5    The State central committee shall adopt rules to provide
6for and govern the procedures to be followed in the election of
7members of the State central committee.
8    After August 6, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
991-426), whenever a vacancy occurs in the office of Chair of a
10State central committee, or at the end of the term of office of
11Chair, the State central committee of each political party
12that has selected Alternative A shall elect a Chair who shall
13not be required to be a member of the State Central Committee.
14The Chair shall be a registered voter in this State and of the
15same political party as the State central committee.
16    Alternative B. Each congressional committee shall, within

19for that congressional district to serve as an additional
20member of the State central committee until the member's
21successor is elected at the general primary election in 1986.

6committeeperson from a congressional district are of the same
7gender, the candidate receiving the highest number of votes
8shall be declared elected a State central committeeperson from
9the district, and, because of a failure to elect 2 persons from
10different genders to the committee, a vacancy shall be
11declared to exist in the office of the second member of the
12State central committee from the district. This vacancy shall
13be filled by appointment by the congressional committee of the
14political party, and the person appointed to fill the vacancy
15shall be a resident of the congressional district and of a
16different gender than the committeeperson elected at the

14    shall create a presumption of rehabilitation in regard to
15    the offense or offenses specified in the certificate; and
16        (8) the legitimate interest of the licensing agency in
17    protecting property, and the safety and welfare of
