Governor's appointment power to fill vacancies on the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota limitations provision

Summary

The bill adds a rule that, if the joint legislative committee recommends a candidate for a vacant seat on the University of Minnesota Board of Regents and the legislature does not elect a replacement, the governor may only appoint a candidate the committee recommended. This reduces the governor’s discretion in filling such vacancies and gives the legislature more say in regent appointments. The change applies to future vacancies on the Board of Regents.
