Senate Resolution No. 11, introduced by Senator Duff of the 25th District, pertains to the confirmation of a nomination for the Milk Regulation Board. The resolution seeks to confirm Carolyn L. Russell of East Hampton as a new member of the board. The resolution specifies that Russell is to serve in a capacity where she has no active or financial interest in the production or sale of milk, thereby replacing the outgoing member, Mae S. Schmidle.
The resolution stipulates that Russell's term on the Milk Regulation Board will be coterminous with the Governor's term, meaning her term will end when the Governor's term ends, or until her successor is appointed and qualified, whichever is longer. The resolution has been referred to the Committee on Executive and Legislative Nominations for consideration. The approval and confirmation of Russell's nomination are expressed as a formal action by the Senate, following the Governor's recommendation.
