E-2.2 - Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities
Section 317.1
Disposition versions
317.1. A council member whose absence is due to a reason referred to in the third paragraph of section 317 and causes no prejudice to the citizens of the municipality may request that the council, on the expiry of the 90-day period referred to in the first paragraph of that section, grant the member a new time limit. The request must be read by the clerk or the clerk-treasurer not later than at the first sitting of the council following the expiry of the 90-day period and the council must decide the matter at that sitting.
If the council refuses the request or fails to decide the matter, the member may, within 15 days after the sitting referred to in the first paragraph, apply to the Commission municipale du Québec for a new time limit of 30 days.
The Commission shall render its decision after hearing the member and the municipality, if the latter wishes to be heard.
The Commission shall send the municipality a notice of its decision, which must be read by the clerk or the clerk-treasurer at the first sitting of the council following its receipt.
On the expiry of any period of time granted by the Commission, a new time limit may be granted, with the necessary modifications, in accordance with the second, third and fourth paragraphs.
