MODERATE

The bill was renamed from the 'One Health Commission Act' to the 'Boards and Commissions Review Act,' completely removing the creation of a new One Health Commission. Instead, the bill now establishes a mandatory review process where appointing authorities must evaluate state boards every two years to recommend their abolition if they have been inactive. Additionally, the bill includes technical amendments to existing laws regarding website cookies and the Department of Agriculture's advisory board structure.

Scope change

The bill's scope shifted entirely from creating a new permanent commission to implementing a general mechanism for reviewing and potentially repealing existing state boards and commissions.

SCOPE

Deleted all provisions establishing the 'One Health Commission' and its duties to promote collaboration between human, animal, and environmental health.

REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement for appointing authorities to review the activity of state boards every two years (starting in 2027) and recommend abolition if the board has not conducted business or held meetings.

DEFINITION

Defined new terms 'Appointing authority' and 'Board' to support the new review process.

TECHNICAL

Amended existing sections of the State Agency Web Site Act regarding cookie usage and repealed a section of the Civil Administrative Code related to the Department of Agriculture.
