Bill Summary

Amending Title 30 (Fish) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, further providing for Boating Advisory Board.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the composition and leadership of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's Boating Advisory Board by removing specific ex officio members and replacing them with the Secretary of Conservation and Natural Resources (or their designee) and the two at-large members of the commission. The bill eliminates the previous requirement that the assistant executive director for watercraft safety serve as the board's secretary and instead mandates that the board annually select one of its volunteer members as chairman. These changes simplify the board's structure, reducing the number of mandatory ex officio members and giving the volunteer members more autonomy in selecting leadership. The modifications will take effect 60 days after the bill's enactment, and they aim to streamline the governance of the Boating Advisory Board within the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
