Bill > SB246

This bill modifies the rules for how long members of the Health Services Cost Review Commission can continue serving after their term officially ends. Currently, a member can serve until a replacement is appointed and ready to take over. This bill proposes to change that, allowing a member to continue serving for a maximum of six months after their term expires, instead of indefinitely until a successor is found. It also removes a provision that allowed members appointed mid-term to continue serving until their successor qualified. The Health Services Cost Review Commission is a body that reviews the costs of health services, and these changes aim to streamline the transition of commissioners.
