Starting May 6, 2026, mayors, city managers, county executives, and county managers or administrators are prohibited from simultaneously serving on the city council or county commission that oversees the same area where they hold their executive role. Anyone already holding both positions when the law takes effect has until January 31, 2027 — or until their replacement is sworn in — to step down from the legislative seat, and anyone who falls into this conflict in the future has up to one year to resolve it.
