The chairman of the Senate Committee on Director Nominations has proposed a law that would require director nominees who served under a previous governor’s administration to be renominated by the current governor and confirmed by the Senate.
Sen. Jake Hoffman, R-Queen Creek, dropped a striker amendment to House Bill 2872, which would also require the president and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority to be nominated by the governor and appear before the Senate.
Hoffman introduced the bill during the Senate Government Committee hearing on March 26. It passed along party lines with Republican support.
