Assembly BillIntroduced
A 435: Provides that upon a vacancy, the council of the arts shall not be deemed out of compliance with the requirement that each of the ten regions of the state be represented by at least one member of the council so long as such vacancy is filled within a reasonable time and the appointment made for such new vacancy moves the composition of the council closer to such requirement.
What A 435 does, verified July 2, 2025
The proposed bill aims to amend the Arts and Cultural Affairs Law to ensure the Council on the Arts has members from each of the state's ten regions. The council is allowed to retain its powers despite vacancies, but new appointments must be made within a reasonable time frame to move the composition closer to the requirement of representation from each region. The changes will take effect on the same date as a previously enacted law that introduced the region-based requirement.
