2016 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 33.2-2504 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 33.2-2504. Decisions of Authority.
A majority of the Authority, which majority shall include at
least a majority of the representatives of the counties and cities embraced by
the Authority, shall constitute a quorum. Decisions of the Authority shall
require a quorum and shall be in accordance with voting procedures established
by the Authority. In all cases, decisions of the Authority shall require the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the Authority present and
voting and two-thirds of the representatives of the counties and cities
embraced by the Authority who are present and voting and whose counties and cities
include at least two-thirds of the population embraced by the Authority;
however, no motion to fund a specific facility or service shall fail because of
this population criterion if such facility or service is not located or to be
located or provided or to be provided within the county or city whose
representative's sole negative vote caused the facility or service to fail to
meet the population criterion. The population of counties and cities embraced
by the Authority shall be the population as determined by the most recently
preceding decennial census, except that on July 1 of the fifth year
following such census, once the population estimates for July 1 of the
fifth year are made available then the population of each county and city
shall be adjusted, based on the basis of population
projections estimates made by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public
Service of the University of Virginia.
