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 members appointed by the Governor, along with additional appointments from legislative leaders. Specifically, two members will be 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 introduces new ex officio members, including 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 bill specifies that the terms of office for the Governor's appointees will last four years, with provisions for filling any vacancies that may arise. The quorum for board meetings has been adjusted from thirteen to fourteen members. This reorganization aims to enhance the effectiveness and representation of the State Planning Board in its duties. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
