12033. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that a vast and
largely untapped reservoir of talent exists among the citizenry of
the State of California, and that rich and varied segments of this
great human resource are, all too frequently, not aware of the many
opportunities which exist to participate in and serve on state
regulatory and advisory boards and commissions to which the Governor,
the Legislature and others make more than 2,000 appointments.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the general
public of this state has traditionally been denied access to
information regarding vacancies which occur on such boards and
commissions, thereby denying most citizens and interest groups the
opportunity to nominate for consideration by the Governor, the
Legislature and other appointive powers persons whose particular
strengths, backgrounds, experience, perspective, and talents might
contribute significantly to efficient and representative policy
development and administration in state government.
(c) The Legislature further finds and declares that the Governors,
the Legislature, and other appointive powers of this state, have
been denied access to a talent resource hitherto untapped.
(d) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature, by the
enactment of this chapter, to provide maximum public awareness of and
access to specific and current information about the many boards and
commissions, both regulatory and advisory, to which the Governor,
the Legislature and others make appointments.
12033.1. (a) The Governor shall prepare and maintain an Open
Central Registry of Appointive Offices, which shall be known as the
State Appointments List, that shall be available to the general
public as follows:
(1) In the offices of the Secretary of State in the Cities of
Sacramento and Los Angeles.
(2) The State Library.
(3) As required by Section 14904, every library that has been
designated a complete depository library, and in addition, every
municipal or county public library that has been designated a
selective depository library.
(4) Every county library where there is no designated depository
library in the county, as determined by the State Librarian.
(5) Every municipal library serving a population of 50,000 or
greater that is not otherwise served, as determined by the State
Librarian.
(b) Additional copies of the list may be provided, upon request,
to academic or law libraries designated as selective depository
libraries.
(c) The Governor shall, in cooperation with the Speaker of the
Assembly and the Senate Rules Committee, pursuant to Section 1750.5,
maintain the currency of the list, provide for updating it at least
once per month, but more frequently if practicable or necessary, and
ensure that appropriate documents pertaining to this updating are
disseminated to each entity designated in subdivision (a), within
five days thereafter. Except for appointment of Members of the
Legislature, no appointment to any office contained in the list shall
be made until at least 15 working days after the day on which a
vacancy for that office has been posted in both lists located in the
offices of the Secretary of State.
12033.2. The Governor shall make copies of all information on the
State Appointments List and updated materials available to any
organization or person for a reasonable fee not to exceed actual
cost.
12033.3. The State Appointments List located throughout the state
shall contain the following:
(a) A list of all boards and commissions to which the Governor,
any member of the executive branch, or, the Governor, the Speaker of
the Assembly, the President pro Tempore of the Senate, and the Senate
Rules Committee make appointments.
(b) The names and addresses of all appointees, and the appointing
power for each such office, the dates of their appointments, the
nearest statutory or scheduled expiration date, or both, of all
appointments except those which exist at the pleasure of the
appointing power, and necessary qualifications, if any exist, for
such offices.
12033.4. All new appointments shall be posted in the State
Appointments List within 20 working days after they are made. All
unscheduled vacancies shall be posted in the list within 20 working
days after they occur. Whenever the appointing power receives
notification that an appointee other than a Member of the Legislature
will be unable to complete the appointment term, such information
shall be posted as soon as practicable, but in no case longer than 20
working days after receipt of notification, in the list. All such
pertinent information shall be disseminated to the lists located
throughout the state, pursuant to Section 12033.1 of this article.
12033. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that a vast and
largely untapped reservoir of talent exists among the citizenry of
the State of California, and that rich and varied segments of this
great human resource are, all too frequently, not aware of the many
opportunities which exist to participate in and serve on state
regulatory and advisory boards and commissions to which the Governor,

library in the county, as determined by the State Librarian.
(5) Every municipal library serving a population of 50,000 or
greater that is not otherwise served, as determined by the State
Librarian.
(b) Additional copies of the list may be provided, upon request,
to academic or law libraries designated as selective depository
libraries.

(b) The names and addresses of all appointees, and the appointing

nearest statutory or scheduled expiration date, or both, of all
appointments except those which exist at the pleasure of the
appointing power, and necessary qualifications, if any exist, for
such offices.
12033.4. All new appointments shall be posted in the State
Appointments List within 20 working days after they are made. All
unscheduled vacancies shall be posted in the list within 20 working
days after they occur. Whenever the appointing power receives
notification that an appointee other than a Member of the Legislature
will be unable to complete the appointment term, such information
shall be posted as soon as practicable, but in no case longer than 20
working days after receipt of notification, in the list. All such
pertinent information shall be disseminated to the lists located
