Bill Summary · SR 93

Summary — SR 93: Confirm governor’s appointees for the Board of Crime Control

Status snapshot
- Bill type: Senate Resolution (confirmation)
- Short title: Confirm governor’s appointees for the Board of Crime Control
- Introduced: Listed as received by Secretary of the Senate 2025-08-13 (document contains conflicting dates)
- Current status in provided record: Filed with Secretary of State; various “read & adopted” and committee actions appear in the document (see Procedural Notes below)
- Related measures: SCR 112 (companion); LC 4467 (replaces)
- Sponsors: Multiple named sponsors appear in the record (primary sponsors include Mike Hodges, Chuck Payne, Greg Dolezal, Shawn Still, Bill Cowsert, and many others). Note: the source document aggregates materials from several jurisdictions; sponsors listed reflect that mixed record.

Purpose and intent
- The primary purpose of SR 93 is to provide the Senate’s consent to (i.e., formally confirm) individuals whom the governor has nominated to serve on the state Board of Crime Control (or similarly named crime-control/justice board). Confirmation resolutions like this give nominees legal authority to assume statutory duties on the board and allow the board to function at full membership.

Key provisions (as typically found in a confirmation resolution)
- A resolution of confirmation that:
- Names the governor’s nominees (the specific nominees are not listed in the provided document).
- States the Senate’s approval/consent to the appointments.
- May specify term lengths or note that nominees serve “for the remainder of the unexpired term” (if applicable) — not present in the supplied text.
- No substantive policy or budgetary changes to the Board’s statutory powers are indicated in the document provided; the measure is procedural (confirmation), not a statutory amendment.

Who would be affected
- The governor’s nominees (they gain confirmed status).
- The Board of Crime Control: confirmation fills vacancies or expands membership, enabling the board to perform its duties — e.g., setting policy, awarding grants, advising on public safety programs, and overseeing crime-control initiatives (specific board responsibilities depend on the state’s statute).
- State criminal justice agencies, local law enforcement, victims’ services programs, and grant recipients indirectly benefit from a fully staffed board able to act on policy and funding matters.

Procedural and timeline notes (from the provided, inconsistent record)
- The document contains an aggregation of actions, dates, and materials from multiple jurisdictions and different SR 93 versions (including calendar entries, committee reports, and unrelated ceremonial resolutions). This produces conflicting dates and entries:
- Entries in March–May 2025 show committee referrals, hearings, adoption votes, and enrollment in some jurisdictions.
- A filing/receipt with the Secretary of the Senate is listed as 2025-08-13.
- Related committee referrals listed: EIG (Economic/Infrastructure or equivalent) and PSM (Public Safety & Military or equivalent) with favorable committee recommendations (reported “passed, with amendments” in one record).
- The provided record does not reliably identify (a) the state in which this specific confirmation applies, (b) the names of the nominees, or (c) the definitive final action (signed by governor, delivered to Secretary of State, etc.).

Impact assessment
- Procedural in nature: confirmation itself does not change law but enables nominees to carry out the Board’s statutory functions.
- Operational impact: timely confirmation can affect the board’s quorum, decision-making ability, grant disbursement timelines, and oversight activities. Delays in confirmation can slow board actions and associated grants/programs.
- Policy influence: appointees’ priorities and expertise may shape board policy, grant priorities, training standards, and crime-prevention strategies while serving.

Recommended next steps for a reader seeking full clarity
1. Obtain the official SR 93 text filed in the relevant state legislature (identify the state — the supplied document contains mixed-state content).
2. Confirm the names and biographies of the governor’s nominees, their term lengths, and any statutory qualifications or conflicts of interest disclosures.
3. Check the official legislative calendar and journal for final actions (confirmation vote tallies, effective dates).
4. Review the statute governing the Board of Crime Control to see specific powers, term limits, and how additional confirmed members will affect board operations.

Note: The submitted document appears to be a merged or corrupted compilation of multiple distinct SR 93 resolutions (from different states and on different subjects). The summary above focuses on the stated title — confirmation of governor’s appointees to a Board of Crime Control — and highlights missing information and recommended verification steps.
