This bill establishes new timelines and procedures for filling vacant positions on state boards and commissions appointed by the Governor. For boards that don't require Senate approval, the Governor must fill vacancies within 120 days, and if a term expires without a new appointment within that timeframe, the current member automatically stays on for another term (unless they've hit a term limit). The bill applies similar rules to boards requiring Senate consent, ensuring these positions don't sit empty for extended periods.
