Likely includes customary legislative language confirming eligibility, compliance with applicable ethics or conflicts-of-interest standards (as required for governing board members).

Note: Detailed term lengths, duties, or conditions would typically be included in the formal confirmation resolution or accompanying documentation, but those specifics are not provided in the summary data.

Affected Parties and Impact

Dr. Prechelle Shannon: She would serve as a member of the Corrections Information Council Governing Board, participating in governance and policy oversight related to corrections information, transparency, and related administrative matters.

Corrections Information Council Governing Board: The board would have one additional confirmed member, potentially influencing the board’s composition, voting dynamics, and deliberations.

Public/Stakeholders: Increased governance clarity and transparency in the Corrections Information Council’s activities, subject to the board’s decisions and reporting.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

Introduction: December 16, 2025.

Referral: The measure was referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety on January 6, 2026.

Next Steps: The Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety will review the resolution, hold any necessary hearings, and make a recommendation to the full legislative body. The full body would then consider passage of the resolution to finalize Dr. Shannon’s appointment.

Notes and Context

This is a governance/confirmation resolution rather than a substantive policy statute. It does not appear to create or modify substantive law but rather ensures the formal appointment of a board member is approved by the legislature, aligning with standard checks-and-balances practices for board appointments.

If passed, expect standard ethics disclosures and ongoing oversight requirements applicable to governing board members to apply to Dr. Shannon, consistent with existing laws and council rules.
