HB 12 Blind, Advisory Boards for Industries for; combining of regional boards.

Introduced by: M. Kirkland Cox | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Advisory Boards for the Virginia Industries for the Blind. Combines the regional advisory boards for the Virginia Industries for the Blind in Charlottesville and Richmond into one state board with a reduced membership. The two existing boards began to conduct joint meetings in 1998 as an efficiency measure, and the joint venture has proved to be successful. Under current law, an advisory board is created for each manufacturing and servicing district established. Because only two service districts currently exist and the Department does not anticipate that any more will be created, the authority of the Board for the Blind and Vision Impaired to establish advisory boards is repealed. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee to Study the Operations, Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002). This bill incorporates HB 204.
