What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the commissioner of insurance is nominated by the governor

and appointed with the advice and consent of the senate. The commissioner does not

have a fixed term of office, but instead serves at the pleasure of the governor. This

bill provides that the commissioner must be appointed for a four-year term of office.

Under the bill, the governor still nominates and the senate still appoints the

commissioner, but the commissioner no longer serves at the pleasure of the governor.
