Summary

HB592 allows the Senate's President Pro Tempore to appoint a designee to sit on the Sunset Committee in his or her place.

What This Bill Does

HB592 would let the Senate’s President Pro Tempore designate someone to serve on the Sunset Committee instead of the PPT personally.

The act takes effect immediately after passage and gubernatorial approval.

• Senate President Pro Tempore – gains authority to appoint a designee to serve on the Sunset Committee in his or her place
• Sunset Committee and its House and Senate members – will include a designee in place of the PPT, with existing duties and compensation rules remaining in effect

Key Provisions

• Authorization to appoint a designee to serve on the Sunset Committee in the President Pro Tempore's place (Section 41-20-4).
• The designee participates as part of the committee alongside the Speaker Pro Tem, preserving committee structure and duties; the act becomes effective immediately upon passage and governor's approval.
