Which statement is true regarding appointments under this framework?

• A. The Governor appoints both the disciplinary review committee and the Chief
• B. The Governor appoints neither the Chief nor the committee
• C. The Director appoints both the Chief and the committee
• D. The Attorney General appoints the Chief

Answer: (A)

Executive control over leadership and disciplinary processes: in this framework, the Governor is responsible for appointing both the Chief who leads the agency and the disciplinary review committee that handles licensee discipline. This arrangement ensures that the agency’s direction and its disciplinary standards reflect statewide policy and maintain appropriate independence from day-to-day operations. Therefore, the Governor appointment of both the Chief and the disciplinary review committee is the correct understanding. Relying on the Director or the Attorney General for these appointments would concentrate power differently and is not how this framework is structured, and having neither appointment by the Governor would weaken centralized accountability.
