Bill > SB2114

This bill removes the requirement that the Senate provide advice and consent for gubernatorial appointments across multiple state boards, commissions, and agencies. Specifically, the bill modifies several existing laws to eliminate the Senate's role in confirming appointments made by the Governor to various bodies such as the Enterprise Zone Board, Energy Workforce Advisory Council, Energy Transition Workforce Commission, Illinois State Museum Advisory Board, Illinois Housing Development Authority, Guardianship and Advocacy Commission, Illinois Workforce Innovation Board, Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes, Medical Practice Board, Illinois Affordable Housing Advisory Commission, Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission, Clean Energy Jobs and Justice Fund Board, Illinois Secure Choice Savings Board, Workers' Compensation Medical Fee Advisory Board, and Workers' Compensation Advisory Board. Under the proposed changes, the Governor would be able to directly appoint members to these entities without seeking Senate confirmation, streamlining the appointment process and potentially giving the Governor more direct control over these boards and commissions.
