This bill directs the board of directors of WEDC to maintain the following positions on its staff and provides that these positions are covered under the statutory code and the requirement to file statements of economic interests: chief operational officer, chief legal counsel, chief financial officer, and such vice presidents as the board may designate. The bill also provides that if the board of directors of WEDC creates any positions that are similar to the above-named positions, as determined by the Government Accountability Board, those positions are also covered under the statutory code and the requirement to file statements of economic interests.
