The Poet Laureate is appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate from a list of three nominees provided by the Arts Council, which is a state agency that promotes the arts. The bill clarifies some wording related to the literary experts who may be part of the panel that solicits nominations and slightly adjusts the language regarding the Poet Laureate's term length, ensuring the core process for selecting this esteemed literary figure remains intact.
