This bill amends the Administrative Code of 1929 to reorganize the composition and structure of the State Planning Board in Pennsylvania. The number of appointed members has been adjusted from fifteen to a total of fifteen appointed by the Governor, with additional appointments made by the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Specifically, the bill introduces two members appointed by each legislative leader, ensuring that no two members from the same political party are appointed. The bill also expands the list of ex officio members to include the Secretary of Human Services, the Director of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, and the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.

Additionally, the terms of office for the Governor-appointed members are set to four years, with provisions for filling vacancies. The bill specifies that fourteen members will constitute a quorum for the board's meetings, an increase from the previous requirement of thirteen. These changes aim to enhance the governance and operational efficiency of the State Planning Board, reflecting a more inclusive and representative structure. The act is set to take effect in 60 days following its passage.
