The bill proposes the establishment of an executive administrator position for the Big Game Commercial Services Board, which will be employed by the department in consultation with the board. This executive administrator will serve as the principal executive officer of the board and will be classified under the partially exempt service, receiving a monthly salary equivalent to a step in Range 23 on the state's salary schedule. Additionally, the bill amends the responsibilities of the board to include the establishment of qualifications and duties for this executive administrator, as well as the delegation of necessary authority to facilitate board operations.

Furthermore, the bill updates the list of positions that constitute the partially exempt service to include the principal executive officer of the Big Game Commercial Services Board. This change aims to enhance the governance and operational efficiency of the board by clearly defining the role and authority of the executive administrator within the existing framework of state service positions.
