User:LizArchive/Superior Legislative Commission

The Legislative Commission of Superior (LCS; also sometimes called the Superior Legislative Commission, SLC) is the state agency that regulates commerce, labor, health, firefighting, transportation, agriculture, and energy.

Established by the Governor Storm Kennedy in 1987, it is the state's oldest regulatory agency.

The five-member commission is appointed by the governor, with confirmation from the Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor acts as the Chair of the Commission. The Commission may elect a Vice Chair in the event that the Lieutenant Governor is unable to serve as Chair.

The Commission also has the power to vote on the nominations of Cabinet members in the event of a vacancy, overturn gubernatorial executive orders, impeach the Governor or members of the Cabinet, and create its own rules.

Origins
The Legislative Commission was originally created by Governor Storm Kennedy to make the state's government more productive, and put a check on gubernatorial power. With advise from Attorney General Oink Pig, Kennedy created the commission in a series of executive orders and constitutional amendments known as the "Superior Government Restructure".
