Under this legislation, the Superinten- dent would be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to a single ten-year term. Only the full Legislature would have the authority to remove the Superintendent from his or her posi- tion, through a majority vote in both houses. In the event the Super- intendent resigns or is no longer able to perform his or her duties before the end of the ten-year term, the Governor can appoint an acting Superintendent for a four-month period. After that period, the Governor must appoint a new Superintendent, who would serve out the remainder of the previous Superintendent's term. Further, the responsibilities of the Superintendent are expanded to include the submission of annual reports to the Legislature detailing the inter- and intra-governmental activities of the State Police in the most recent fiscal year. These reports would be public documents and should include: * Information detailing any special requests from the Executive and the Legislature for services of the State Police beyond traditional services provided by the State Police; * Any additional information provided by the State police to the Gover- nor, his or her staff and the Legislature beyond the traditional report- ing requirements of the State Police and for what purposes, which would be provided at the discretion of the Superintendent; * Any special disciplinary actions taken by the Superintendent regarding inter or intra governmental affairs involving State Police personnel, based upon special requests made to the State Police by the Executive, the Legislature and the any other public or quasi-public entity; * Requests for information of any kind other than the traditional infor- mation provided by the State Police from any Executive branch, Legisla- tive branch, public authority or local government entities; * The report shall include a certification signed by both the Super- intendent and the Administrator of the State Police Executive Service Unit attesting that the information provided is true to the best of his or her knowledge. If such certification is found to be false, untrue or fraudulent, the Superintendent may be subject to sanctions and penalties deemed appropriate by the Legislature. The Superintendent would be required to testify before the Legislature at public hearings on a biennial. basis to review the personnel and administrative activities of the State Police along with future plans and initiatives of the agency. The bill would also require a two year rotation of every civilian and sworn officer assigned to the State Police Executive Service Unit.

Relates to the appointment and reporting duties of the superintendent of the state police and to the appointment of employees of the state police.
