SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Advisory Commission on the Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. Increases the membership of the Advisory Commission on the Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind from 10 to 12 members by adding two additional citizen members to be appointed by the Speaker, thus bringing the Speaker's citizen appointments to three. Currently, the Commission has two citizens, both of whom are either former students of either of the schools or the parents of former or present students of either of the schools. This provision requires that one of the additional appointees be a parent of a sensory impaired multidisabled student who is currently attending or has attended the Virginia School for the Deaf, Blind and Multi-Disabled at Hampton, and that the other new appointee be a current member of the Board of Education. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections will continue to appoint one citizen member who is either a former student of either of the schools or a parent of a current or former student of either of the schools.
