  • What: OC-26-21 fills a vacancy on the Accountability in Government Oversight Committee (professional management background seat). The official minutes name the appointee as Lucas Abel Pedraza; the video captions render the name as Terrazas, so the minutes' spelling is used here.

Peña moved to table OC-26-21 during balloting; carried 9-0. After the opioid item she moved to remove it from the table (9-0), then that Mr. Pedraza be confirmed as amended; carried 9-0.
