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.
