What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the governor appoints members of the Government

Accountability Board (board) from nominations submitted by the board's candidate

committee. Current law requires the candidate committee to submit at least two

nominations to fill one vacancy on the board, three nominations to fill two vacancies,

five nominations to fill three vacancies, six nominations to fill four vacancies, and

seven nominations to fill five vacancies on the board. This bill doubles the number

of nominations the candidate committee must submit to the governor.
