LB221

Nebraska LB221 establishes a procedure for filling unfilled gubernatorial appointments on boards and commissions.

Nebraska LB221 amends the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to create a process for filling vacancies on boards, commissions, and similar entities left unfilled by the Governor. If a seat remains vacant for six months or more, the legislative committee of jurisdiction can take applications and forward recommendations to the Governor. If the seat remains vacant for another six months, the Executive Board of the Legislative Council can make the appointment. This bill aims to ensure that these entities can function effectively and that the Legislature has oversight over their appointments.
