Modifies provisions for appointment of members to the bi-state development agency

HB 2837 changes the process for appointing members to the bi-state development agency. It specifies that two members are chosen from a panel of three nominees submitted by St. Louis City’s mayor, two from a panel submitted by St. Louis County’s county executive, and the fifth alternates between the mayor and county executive for each appointment. The bill establishes a repeating pattern where the mayor and county executive take turns submitting candidates for the fifth position. This directly affects how the governor selects agency members, with no changes to the agency’s duties or policies.
