IRON MUSEUM BOARD TRANSFER TO DHAL - H.B. 4955 (H-2): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 4955 (Substitute H-2 as reported with amendment)
Sponsor: Representative Douglas Bovin
House Committee: Commerce
Senate Committee: Government Operations
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Iron Industry Museum Advisory Board Act to transfer the advisory board to the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries (DHAL), from the Department of State, and to add two members to the board.
Currently, the advisory board consists of nine members appointed by the Governor, who serve four-year terms. Under the bill, the board also would include one member appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and one appointed by the Senate Majority Leader. Those two members would hold office for a two-year term coinciding with the term of the office of State Representative. The bill also provides that not more than six (instead of five) board members could be of the same political party at any one time.
The bill would take effect August 6, 2001, and is tie-barred to House Bill 4941, which would create the DHAL.
