This bill appoints Garth Walker as a member of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, a body that oversees the state's public colleges and universities. The appointment is effective from September 8, 2023, through January 31, 2027, and covers only the reimbursement of expenses incurred while performing official duties. The nominee will serve without a per diem payment, and the legislation requires the Senate's consent to finalize the appointment.
