Summary — SR 58

Title: Confirm governor's appointee for the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council
Classification: Senate Resolution (confirmation)
Subject: Energy; Legislature

Purpose and intent

SR 58 is a legislative resolution to confirm a governor’s appointment to the regional body described as the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council. The resolution’s primary purpose is to provide the legislature’s formal approval (confirmation) of the governor’s nominee so the appointee may serve on the regional power and conservation planning council and exercise the responsibilities of that office.

Key provisions

  • Confirms the governor’s nominated individual to serve as the state’s representative on the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council (the resolution itself functions as the legislature’s approval/confirmation instrument).
  • Upon adoption, authorizes the appointee to assume any duties, voting rights, and responsibilities associated with council membership.
  • Directs any administrative steps customary for confirmations (e.g., transmittal of certified copies) consistent with the chamber’s rules (typical in a confirmation resolution).

Note: The specific appointee’s name, term length, statutory references creating the council, and any conditions or limits on the appointment were not included in the materials provided.

Who is affected

  • The governor’s appointee (the nominee) — confirmation enables the individual to serve and participate fully on the council.
  • The Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council — gains a confirmed state representative whose vote and participation may affect council planning, conservation targets, and regional energy policy.
  • Stakeholders in regional energy planning — utilities, state energy offices, conservation organizations, tribal governments, and ratepayers may be affected by decisions in which the confirmed appointee participates.
