Removing the requirement that women's commission members be subject to senate confirmation.

Summary

The measure changes state law so the governor can appoint the nine members of the Washington State Women’s Commission without Senate approval. It retains a requirement that appointments reflect diverse ethnic, geographic, gender, and other characteristics, and sets term limits and reimbursement rules. By shifting appointment authority to the governor, the bill aims to speed up staffing while keeping legislative advisory members on the commission.
