Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 2319 -- Boards, Commissions, and Councils

Sponsor:  McNeil

This bill requires the Governor when selecting appointees to
state boards, commissions, committees, and councils to ensure if
possible, by January 1, 2014, 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 decennial
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, 2011, and annually thereafter.
