DESCRIPTION
This proposal requires that beginning August 28, 2004, two members of the Highways and Transportation Commission, one from each opposing political party, who have the most seniority in commission service will be elected by the commission, one to serve as chair and the other as vice chair. Effective March 1, 2005, the commission will then elect for a one-year term a chair
and vice chair from the two members, one from each opposing political party, who have the most seniority in commission service. At the end of the one-year term, the chair and vice chair will switch their positions. Thereafter, the commission leadership will continue to rotate accordingly.
The proposal contains provisions for filling vacancies due to removal, death, resignation, or refusal of service. Any members reappointed are only be eligible to serve as chair or vice chair during the final two years of a member's reappointment.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
