SR 1083: Daniel Johnson (Senate; Transportation). - North Carolina

Edition 1 → Adopted · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was streamlined from a procedural resolution requiring Senate consideration to a direct confirmation resolution. This change removes the step where the Senate votes to decide whether to confirm the nominee, effectively making the confirmation automatic upon the bill's adoption.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's effect changed from a conditional consideration of a nomination to an immediate and final confirmation of the appointment.

REQUIREMENT

Removed the requirement for the Senate to formally consider whether to confirm the nominee, replacing it with a statement that the Senate has already given due consideration.

Deleted the introductory 'Whereas' clauses that cited the Governor's notification duty and the constitutional requirement for senatorial advice and consent, as these are no longer relevant to a direct confirmation.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date logic; the resolution now confirms the appointment immediately upon adoption rather than setting up a future vote.

Scope change

The scope changed from a procedural amendment to a substantive resolution confirming a specific individual for a state cabinet position.

Added a full resolution text confirming Daniel Johnson as Secretary of Transportation, replacing previous deletion instructions.

TIMELINE

Established the resolution as effective immediately upon adoption.

TECHNICAL

Updated document metadata including session year (2025) and version number (v-1).
