An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in organization of departmental administrative boards and commissions and of advisory boards and commissions, further providing for State Planning Board.
This bill updates the composition of the State Planning Board by replacing the previous appointment structure with a new system involving legislative leadership. Under the proposed changes, the board would include fifteen members appointed by the Governor, six ex officio members from various state departments, and four members appointed by the Senate and House leaders. The four legislative appointees would be selected by the Majority and Minority Leaders of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, ensuring representation from different political parties. This amendment aims to reorganize how the board is formed to better reflect the interests of the state's legislative branches.
