This bill amends the Administrative Code of 1929, specifically focusing on the composition and structure of the State Planning Board. The changes include an increase in the total number of board members from fifteen to fourteen appointed by the Governor, along with the addition of two members appointed by the President pro tempore of the Senate and two by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, ensuring that no two members from these appointments belong to the same political party. The bill also specifies the inclusion of several ex officio members, such as the Secretary of Human Services and the Director of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, expanding the board's representation.

Additionally, the bill establishes that the terms for members appointed by the Governor will last four years, with provisions for filling vacancies. It also clarifies that a quorum for board meetings will now consist of fourteen members instead of the previously stated thirteen. These amendments aim to enhance the governance and operational efficiency of the State Planning Board, reflecting a more inclusive and structured approach to its membership. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
