Sec. 1. Reporting appointments to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.

(a) As used in this Act, "separate or interagency board or commission" includes any body in the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of State government that contains any members other than those serving in a single State agency, and that is charged with policy-making or licensing functions or with making recommendations regarding such functions to any authority in State government. The term also includes any body, regardless of its level of government, to which any constitutional officer in the executive branch of State government makes an appointment. The term does not include any body whose members are elected by vote of the electors.

(b) Within 30 days after the effective date of this Act, or within 30 days after the creation of any separate or interagency board or commission, whichever is later, each appointing authority for that board or commission shall make an initial report in writing to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability. Each initial report shall contain the following information:

(1) The name of the board or commission, and a complete citation or copy of the statute, order, or other document creating it.

(2) An address and telephone number, if any, that can be used to communicate with the board or commission.

(3) For each person appointed by that appointing authority to the board or commission whose latest term has not expired: the name, mailing address, residence address, Representative District of residence, date of appointment, and expected expiration of latest term. At the request of the appointee, the report may in lieu of the appointee's residence address list the municipality, if any, and county in which the appointee resides. If an appointment requires confirmation, the report shall state the fact, and the appointing authority shall report the confirmation as a report of change under subsection (c). If the statute, order, or other document creating the board or commission imposes any qualification or background requirement on some but not all members of the board or commission, the report shall state which of such requirements each person appointed fulfills.

(c) Each appointing authority for a separate or interagency board or commission, within 15 days after any change in the information required by subsection (b) to be reported that concerns an appointee of that authority, shall report the change in writing to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability. Any such report concerning a new appointment shall list the name of the previous appointee, if any, who the new appointee replaces.

(d) Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, all prior powers, duties, and responsibilities of the Legislative Research Unit under this Section shall be assumed by the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.
