Current Bill Summary

SS/SB 650 - This act mandates that appointments by the governor to the following boards, commissions, or committees must be made with the advice and consent of the Senate: Missouri Minority Business Advocacy Commission, Governor's Council on Disability, Missouri Military Preparedness and Enhancement Commission, St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, Mid-America Port Commission, Missouri Local Government Employees' Retirement System, Missouri State Employees Retirement System Board, State Interagency Coordinating Council, Interstate Commission on Education Opportunity for Military Children, Missouri Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Educational Commission of the States, Missouri Assistive Technology Advisory Council, Missouri Cotton Growers' Organization Board of Directors, Administrative Law Judge Review Committee, Missouri State Unemployment Council, Missouri Pet Spay/Neuter Fund Board, Missouri Technology Corporation, Missouri Health Insurance Pool, Residential Mortgage Board, Missouri Small Business Regulatory Fairness Board, Sentencing Advisory Commission, State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision, Missouri Film Commission, Small Business Compliance Advisory Committee, Missouri Sheriff Methamphetamine Relief Taskforce, Missouri Medal of Valor Review Board, and Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Compact.

This act requires the directors of certain departments to be members of the Criminal Nonsupport Courts Coordinating Commission instead of their designees.

This act repeals sections relating to committees that have dissolved or expired as required by their authorizing statutes. The defunct committees are the Joint Committee on Terrorism, Bioterrorism, and Homeland Security, the Joint Committee on Missouri's Energy Future, the Joint Committee on the Reduction and Reorganization of Programs within State Government, the Advisory Committee on License Plate Design, the Joint Committee on Economic Development Policy and Planning, and the Review Committee for Purchasing.

Theses provisions are similar to SB 516 (2012).

MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF GOVERNORS

Currently, six of the nine members' terms of the Missouri State University Board of Governors expire in 2011. However, current law also requires that no more than three terms expire in any given year and does not provide a mechanism to modify term lengths to accommodate the timing of the term expiration. This act modifies the term lengths for the appointments to fill the six terms that expired in 2011 so that no more than three of the nine board members' terms will expire in any given year. This act would allow three members' terms to expire on January 1, 2013, three members' terms to expire on January 1, 2015, and three members' terms to expire on January 1, 2017. This section is similar to a provision contained in CCS#2/HCS/SB 455 (2012), SCS/HCS/HB 1042 (2012) and HCS/SCS/SB 563 (2012).

SECTION 174.450

NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS

This act provides that not more than two voting members of the board of regents of Northwest Missouri State University may be residents of the same county. This section is similar to a provision in SCS/HCS/HB 1042 (2012) and SB 681 (2012).

SECTION 174.332

This act contains an emergency clause that only applies to Sections 174.332 and 174.450 which relate to the Missouri State University Board of Governors and the Norwest Missouri State University Board of Regents. The provisions of these sections will take effect upon final passage and approval.
