SB 2114 Illinois Senate · 104th Regular Session

REMOVE SENATE CONSENT

SB 2114 removes the requirement for the Illinois Senate to provide "advice and consent" on certain gubernatorial nominations. It directly affects the Governor's ability to appoint members to specific boards and councils, such as the Enterprise Zone Board and Energy Workforce Advisory Council, by eliminating Senate confirmation. The bill amends multiple Illinois statutes (including the Enterprise Zone Act and Energy Transition Act) to delete language requiring Senate approval for these appointments. This is a procedural change that streamlines appointments without altering the substance of the positions or their responsibilities.
