HB 1227 Rappahannock River Basin Comm.; created as indep. loc. entity w/o political sub. status, membership.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Rappahannock River Basin Commission. Provides that the Rappahannock River Basin Commission is created as an independent local entity without political subdivision status. This bill provides further that the membership of the Commission shall be based on House and Senatorial Districts with representation from certain local governing bodies. To facilitate the conduct of business, 12 or one-third of the members of the Commission constitutes a quorum. Reducing the number of members required for a quorum addresses the problem of obtaining a sufficient number of members at meetings due to vast size of the Commission. Members of the Commission are not eligible to receive compensation or reimbursement for their expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. The bill also contains several technical amendments to streamline and conform the relevant sections pertaining to the Commission to the Joint Rules Committee's legislative guidelines for collegial bodies. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Rules Committee.
