Relating to the eligibility of a person who is not a United States citizen to be appointed to or serve in a public office or on an advisory board or task force.

This bill would require all state and local government appointees to be U.S. citizens, including those serving on commissions, boards, or advisory groups. It applies to appointments made after the law takes effect, requiring current non-citizen appointees to resign by the effective date unless they become citizens before then. The law does not apply to positions with constitutional eligibility requirements (e.g., certain elected offices). It directly affects current non-citizen officeholders and future appointees to state or local government advisory roles. The bill is pending and would take effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
