Already relieved of most of the responsibilities required of their
offices in other states, the positions of secretary of state and state
treasurer would be eliminated under a constitutional amendment proposed
by two Assembly Republicans.
"In this day and age, they are outdated positions," said Rep. Tyler August (R-Lake Geneva). "We can save the state some money by eliminating them."
The positions are much weaker than in other states. Republican State Treasurer Kurt Schuller, for example, had one of his last major responsibilities — authority of the state's unclaimed property program — eliminated under the state budget.
