Bill > SB246

This bill modifies the rules for how long members of the Health Services Cost Review Commission can continue serving after their official term ends. Previously, a member whose term expired would continue serving indefinitely until a replacement was appointed and confirmed. This bill changes that, allowing a member to serve for a maximum of six months past their term's expiration date, rather than until a successor is appointed and qualifies. Additionally, it removes a provision that allowed members appointed mid-term to continue serving until a successor was appointed and qualified, aligning all members to the new six-month limit. The Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) is a state agency responsible for overseeing healthcare costs.
