Bill > SB1110

This bill modifies the composition of the State Tax Commission by increasing the number of commissioners from three to five, while maintaining key existing requirements about political party representation and commissioner qualifications. Specifically, the bill changes the commission's makeup to require five members (instead of three) who will be chosen from the two major political parties and appointed by the governor with Senate approval. The commissioners will continue to serve six-year staggered terms, and the bill removes the original provisions specifying the initial terms of the first commissioners. The bill also adjusts the political party balance requirement, changing the limitation so that no more than three (instead of two) commissioners can be from the same political party. Additional existing provisions remain unchanged, such as requirements that commissioners be qualified voters and taxpayers who have resided in the state for at least five years, be dedicated full-time to their duties, and have no conflicting business or official interests. The bill aims to provide more representation and potentially more diverse expertise on the State Tax Commission while maintaining its independence and ethical standards.
