This bill modifies the appointment process for the Board of Tax and Land Appeals by changing how members are appointed and their terms of service. Specifically, it stipulates that members of the board will now be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the governor and council, eliminating the previous requirement for fixed terms. Additionally, the bill mandates that the governor and council appoint one member to serve as chairman for the duration of their term, and it requires the executive council to hold a hearing prior to confirmation in accordance with RSA 4:44. The bill aims to streamline the appointment process and provide the governor and council with greater flexibility in managing board appointments. The effective date of this act is set to be upon its passage, allowing for immediate implementation of these changes once approved.
