House Bill No. 5730, as amended by House Amendment Schedule "A," aims to implement staggered terms for members of the Two-Generational Advisory Board, which advises the state on fostering economic self-sufficiency in low-income households through a two-generational service delivery approach. The bill repeals the existing language in subsection (d) of section 17b-112l and introduces new provisions that establish three-year term limits for appointed board members, ensuring that no more than one-third of the members' terms expire simultaneously. The new term expiration dates are set for current and future members based on their appointment dates, with specific deadlines for those appointed before and after June 30, 2025.
Additionally, the bill designates the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity (CWCSEO) as the appointing authority for representatives from nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, rather than the board's co-chairpersons. This change aims to enhance the board's composition by ensuring that members with expertise in two-generational programs and policies are selected appropriately. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
