AI Summary
This bill establishes a voluntary resume bank managed by the Governor for individuals with disabilities seeking appointments to various State boards, commissions, authorities, and similar entities, including special committees, councils, and task forces, which are governmental bodies where private citizens are appointed. The Governor will maintain an online list of available positions and ensure the resume bank is accessible to both the executive branch and the Legislature, allowing individuals with disabilities to submit their resumes. The bank will store resumes, contact information, relevant details about the individual's disability, and their preferred State entities for appointment. Importantly, this resume bank will be exempt from the "Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act," meaning its proceedings will not be open to the public, and all information submitted will be kept confidential.
