What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2015 legislature on

first consideration, provides that the state superintendent of public instruction shall

be nominated by the governor and, with the advice and consent of the senate,

appointed to serve at the pleasure of the governor. Currently, the state

superintendent is elected in a state-wide election, to serve a four-year term.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it becomes effective.
