The Governor's Science Advisory Council originated as the Governor's Science Resources Advisory Council in 1963. By Executive Order, the Governor reorganized the Council in 1970 as the Governor's Science Advisory Council.

The Council provides the Governor with objective scientific and technological advice. In all fields to which scientific approaches can be applied, the Council identifies potential problems, recommends solutions, and defines problem areas that could best be solved by committees. The Council also defines scientific areas needing additional research or data analysis, reviews available resources to perform such analysis, and recommends the approach to be used. The Council further works to improve scientific education and identifies areas for graduate studies that will be of value to the State.

At the Governor's request or with the Governor's approval, the Council provides scientific and technological advice to the principal executive departments of State government. It also serves as a liaison with scientists of other states or agencies in coordinating approaches to common scientific problems.

Appointed by the Governor, Council members serve three-year terms.
