In June 2006, the Democratic-controlled Maryland General Assembly passed a law that included the removal of the current members of the PSC. Ken Schisler sued ("Kenneth D. Schisler, et al. v. State of Maryland") The law, had it taken effect, would have allowed the General Assembly to appoint 2 members each by the House and Senate to the PSC, while only allowing the Governor to appoint one member. Currently, the appointment of members of the PSC belongs to the executive branch.
