SB 1007 -- GUBERNATORIAL APPOINTMENTS SPONSOR: Goode (Byrd) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Judiciary by a vote of 14 to 1 with 1 present. This bill requires compliance with the constitutional provision that certain gubernatorial appointments must be made with the advice and consent of the Senate, regardless of whether the statute which creates the appointed position specifically requires the appointment to be subject to Senate approval. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and FY 2007. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that the bill restates in statute what is required in the Missouri Constitution for gubernatorial appointments. Currently, some appointments are made without the advice and consent of the Senate. The bill would require that all appointments made by the Governor be made with the Senate's approval. Testifying for the bill was Senator Goode. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Amy Woods, Legislative Analyst
