SUMMARY
The proposed measure provides that henceforth appointments in the executive branch of the government shall not require the advice and consent of the Governor's Council. Exceptions to this provision include appointments to the Youth Service Board, Industrial Accident Board, Commission of the Department of Public Utilities, Parole Board and Appellate Tax Board, which appointments shall continue to require Council action. However, should the Council fail to act upon appointments within thirty calendar days, then the person involved shall be deemed to have been lawfully appointed. Any appointment in the executive branch by an officer other than the Governor which heretofore required council approval shall henceforth require approval by the Go- vernor.
180
Removals from office shall no longer require the advise and consent of the Council, except in the case of the Youth Service Board, which removals must still receive Council approval. As in the case of appointments still requiring Council approval, such recommended removal from the Youth Service Board must be acted upon the Council within thirty calendar days; otherwise the pro- posed removal shall become effective as if approval had been given. In the case of any appointment which heretofore required Council approval the Governor may, within fifteen days of the making of the appointment, remove the person appointed without cause.
The Council shall no longer be required to approve the fixing of any compensation for services rendered in the executive depart- ment. And henceforth there need be no approval by the Council of actions or agreements by executive officers, including but not limited to borrowings and loans, investments, leases, licenses, pur- chases and conveyances, and contracts, and also including the promulgation of rules and regulations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Governor shall at all times remain free to seek the advice and consent of the Council upon any matter.

YES
