Plan changes in measure on appointments
Representative Shady Wall of West Monroe announced amendments to the recess appointments bill. The changes would allow governor appointments during war or national emergency to take effect immediately under certain conditions and exempt notaries public, constables, and justices of the peace from Senate confirmation. Wall said discussions with the governor are open to addressing objections with mutually satisfactory amendments. He noted current law gives governors sole tenure and firing power, while Senate confirmation can lead to removal only for cause.
