Bill > S2464

This bill extends the timeline and modifies the appointment process for the Citizens Commission, which appears to be a commission related to a constitutional amendment. Specifically, the bill extends the commission's existence and responsibilities until December 31, 2028, which is a significant extension from its previous end date. Additionally, the bill establishes a detailed procedure for filling vacancies on the commission: if a vacancy occurs, the chair or co-chairs must notify the appointing authority, who then has 30 days to fill the position either by selecting someone from the original pool of applicants or by accepting a new application. The appointing authority must post notice of the vacancy within 7 days of learning about it and must also publicly post the chosen applicant's application before making the appointment. These provisions aim to ensure transparency and continuity in the commission's membership and operations.
