SECTION    2.    SECTION 6 of Act 114 of 2007, related to the termination of the Governor's authority to appoint the Secretary of Transportation, is repealed.

SECTION    3.    The Governor's authority to appoint the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to Act 114 of 2007 is, by this act of the General Assembly, extended until further action by the General Assembly to the contrary.

SECTION    4.    This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
