STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15493
In the past, the Science and Technology Advisory Council
existed by Executive Order of the Governor. This legislation
would create a Science and Technology Advisory Council in state
statute and define its governing structure.
The purpose of the Council will be to advise the Department
of Commerce and Labor, the State Board of Education, State
Colleges and Universities, and other state, local, federal and
private sector agencies and organizations on science and
technology interests; to support the development and publishing
of information on the condition and importance of science and
technology to the state's economy; to assist with the development
and implementation of a state strategic plan for science and
technology; and to assist with the coordination of local, state,
and federal interests to increase the positive economic impact of
the state's science and technology resources.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no negative impact on the state
General Fund for reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses
for attendance at Council meetings by members of the Council who
are not state employees.
The Department of Commerce and Labor will provide
administrative support to the Council without the need for
additional funding.
