HB 752 -- Transportation Appointees Sponsor: Schieffer This bill eliminates the position of Transportation Inspector General for the Joint Committee on Transportation Oversight. Currently, the two members of the Highways and Transportation Commission, one from each political party, who have the most seniority in commission service serve as commission leadership with one as chair and the other as vice chair for a period of one year. At the end of the year, the chair and vice chair rotate. If one of the commission leadership offices becomes vacant, the commission elects one of its members from the same political party as the vacating officer to serve the remainder of the term. The bill specifies that if the person next in line to serve in one of the commission leadership offices declines to serve in that capacity, the leadership position will rotate to the next most senior member who is of the same political party as the declining member.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
