HB 983 -- Membership of Boards, Commissions, Committees, and
Councils

Sponsor:  McNeil

Beginning January 1, 2013, this bill requires the Governor when
selecting appointees to state boards, commissions, committees,
and councils to ensure, if possible, that the membership reflects
the proportion that each gender and race represents in the
population of the state as determined by the most recent federal
census.  Ex-officio members will not be counted for the purposes
of this requirement.

The head of each Governor-appointed board, commission, committee,
or council must submit an electronic report on the racial and
gender composition of its membership to the Secretary of State by
January 1, 2010, and annually thereafter.
