Bill > HB2842

This bill modifies how commissioners are appointed to the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which oversees facilities in St. Louis City and St. Louis County. Specifically, it changes the number of commissioners appointed by the city's chief executive from up to three to up to two, and increases the number appointed by the county's chief executive from up to three to up to five. It also alters the appointment process for commissioners appointed by the governor, requiring the governor to appoint a chairman and specifying that certain commissioners must reside in the city, county, or a contiguous county. The bill also removes the requirement for advice and consent from the city's board of aldermen and the county council for appointments, instead requiring the governor's advice and consent for city and county appointments. Additionally, it clarifies that no more than three commissioners appointed by the governor can be from the same political party, and no more than two appointed by the city or county chief executives can be from the same political party, with an overall limit of six commissioners from the same political party. The bill also introduces a provision where commissioners are disqualified from voting and participating in authority business if the state, city, or county fails to make required payments, and if this disqualification leaves less than a majority of commissioners qualified to vote, the remaining qualified commissioners can still conduct business.
