Bill > HB1227

This bill modifies the Crane Operator Licensure Act by removing the requirement that professional and public members of the State Board of Crane Operators must be citizens of the United States, while maintaining the existing requirement that they be residents of Pennsylvania. The bill preserves other existing provisions about board membership, such as the four-year term limit, the possibility of serving up to six months beyond that term, the process for appointing successors if a member dies or resigns, and the restriction that no member can serve more than two consecutive terms. The Governor will continue to appoint these board members with the advice and consent of the Senate. The modification appears to be aimed at making board membership more inclusive by removing the citizenship requirement while still ensuring that members are local residents. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
