Bill > SF1446

This bill clarifies the status of certain state commissions by establishing that commissions created by law for a specific purpose and limited duration are purely advisory in nature. The legislation proposes that regardless of any existing contradictory statutes, these commissions will not have decision-making authority but instead will serve an advisory role, providing recommendations or guidance to relevant government bodies. The bill will take effect on August 1, 2025, and will apply to any commissions established on or after that date. By making this change, the bill aims to provide greater clarity about the legal standing and functional role of state commissions, potentially streamlining governmental processes and reducing potential confusion about the extent of these commissions' powers.
