State appointee says governor signed order; appointments and oaths expected soon
Summary
Philip D., the Executive Office's boards and commissions manager, said the governor signed the executive order affecting Rehabilitation Council appointments and the office expects to complete appointments and reappointments by the end of the month, after which oaths will be coordinated at a council meeting.
Philip D., boards and commissions manager at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, briefed the council on the appointments process, saying the governor "did finally sign it a few weeks ago" and that his office is coordinating the appointments and reappointments needed to restore a full slate of council membership.
Philip said the office is working to align terms with the reissued executive order and expects to complete the appointment and reappointment work "by the end of this month," after which the commission will likely administer oaths of office together at a subsequent council meeting. He asked council members to reach out with questions during the process.
Council members expressed appreciation for the update and for the effort to smooth what one member described as an especially cumbersome transition period between administrations. No formal votes were taken on appointments at this meeting; Philip's office remains the lead on scheduling and processing.
