Clerks and sheriffs in counties whose population drops below 70,000

If a county clerk and sheriff are operating under the procedures applicable to counties equaling or exceeding populations of seventy thousand (70,000), and after the most recent federal decennial census the county population is less than seventy thousand (70,000), the county clerk and sheriff shall continue to operate and shall continue to be treated in the same manner as if the county's population equals or exceeds seventy thousand (70,000).
