SB435

Pennsylvania SB435 proposes a constitutional amendment to restrict the actions of gubernatorial nominees until Senate consent is received.

Pennsylvania SB435 proposes an amendment to the state's constitution to modify the Governor's appointing power. Specifically, it adds a subsection to section 8 of Article IV, stating that nominees cannot execute orders, promulgate regulations, or issue directives affecting the public until the Senate grants consent. This restriction does not apply to election certifications. The amendment requires two General Assembly passages before being submitted to voters at the next general or municipal election.
