(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.
