(SUCCESSOR TO SSB 1055)

A BILL FOR

An Act making a statutory correction to remove an inconsistency regarding the employment of the executive director of the board of educational examiners.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 272.2, subsection 7, Code 2015, is amended to read as follows:
   7.  Hire an executive director, legal counsel, and other personnel and control the personnel administration of persons employed by the board.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill removes an inconsistency regarding the employment of the executive director of the board of educational examiners.
   Prior to 2012, the board had exclusive authority to hire its executive director. In 2012, legislation was enacted that directed the governor to appoint the executive director subject to senate confirmation. The bill resolves the inconsistency by striking the language authorizing the board to hire an executive director.
