Bill > HB1099

This bill modifies provisions related to advisory bodies for the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. The key changes include: 1. The Missouri Genetic Advisory Committee, which advises the department on genetic programs, will now be appointed by the director of the department rather than the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. 2. The Missouri Brain Injury Advisory Council, which provides recommendations to the department on brain injury services, will also now be appointed by the director rather than the governor. The council size is reduced from 25 to 15 members. 3. The Organ Donation Advisory Committee, which advises the department on organ donation, will now be appointed by the director rather than the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The bill removes the requirement for governor and Senate approval of the appointments to these advisory bodies, giving the department director more direct authority over their composition.
