Bill > SB856

This bill modifies the membership of the State Marine Board. It increases the number of board members from 5 to 9, with 7 voting members and 2 non-voting members. The voting members will include representatives with expertise in areas like riverine ecology, floating homes, recreational boating, water paddling, recreational fishing, and a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe. The bill also allows for public testimony and dialogue at board meetings, and requires Senate confirmation for voting board members. The terms of current board members will end on June 30, 2022, and new members will be appointed or invited with staggered terms. This bill takes effect 91 days after the legislature's regular session adjourns.
