What’s in it
AI summary Currently, the Senate does not have to vote on many people appointed to certain boards and commissions. Under this new rule, a group of senators could request that one of these appointees be sent to the Senate for a confirmation vote. To do this, the senators must sign a request explaining why they want the vote and submit it quickly after the person is appointed.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the confirmation of certain persons appointed to fill vacancies by the governor or an appointing authority other than the governor. The bill allows a member of the senate to request that an appointee who is not otherwise subject to confirmation by the senate by law be subject to such confirmation. The request shall be signed by at least senators and submitted to the secretary of the senate and the governor or appointing authority within days of the appointment. The request shall also include the reason why confirmation is sought and shall be printed in the journal of the senate. The appointee shall be considered to be a nominee to fill a vacancy occurring on the date the request is submitted. _____ The bill removes provisions for mandatory senate confirmation of appointees to several boards and commissions. Such appointees would be subject to confirmation at the request of a member of the senate pursuant to the bill.
