SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 150 adds an additional member to the State Investment Council (SIC). The new
member would be a public member with at least 15 years of professional investment or financial
experience. The chair of the Legislative Finance Committee would appoint the new member.
There is no effective date so the amendment would be effective May 14, 2008.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The fiscal impact to the land grant permanent fund, where SIC receives its funding, is limited to
the per diem of an extra member as well as production costs to provide the new member with
publications and reports produced by SIC. SIC reports the additional costs will be minimal.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
SIC:
SB 150 would add a 10th member to the Council. SB 150 does not specify what course
of action would be available to the Council should members vote to a tie and deadlock on
an action item.
