Senate OKs bill to reorganize State Employment Security Commission
The Senate approved a bill to expand the Employment Security Commission from five to seven members and appoint its administrator and associate administrator by the governor subject to Senate confirmation. The measure shifts these officers from the merit system and moves toward greater executive control, with funds from the federal government supporting the agency. The same session also passed bills exempting nonresident college students from auto tags, creating public defender appointments by the governor, and a watchdog review committee for state law enforcement agencies. A five year auto tag proposal and a sales tax exemption for canes, crutches, braces and wheelchairs advanced, along with land purchases north of the Capitol and five year tag issuance savings estimates. The smoking ban progress moved to a conference committee for final Senate-House resolution.
