New BC law bans MLAs from also serving as mayors or councillors, affecting MLA Misty Van Popta.
A new law in British Columbia, the Eligibility to Hold Public Office Act, bans MLAs from simultaneously serving as mayors, councillors, or school trustees.
Langley MLA Misty Van Popta, who held both MLA and Township councillor roles, will lose one of her positions as the law receives royal assent on May 29th.
Van Popta was one of 13 local officials elected to provincial office, but she is the only one to continue serving in both roles.
The law aims to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure MLAs focus on provincial duties.
