SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Board of Trustees of the Virginia Museum of Natural History. Provides that the unexpired term of any member of the Board of Trustees of the Virginia Museum of Natural History will lapse upon the failure of such member to attend four consecutive regular board meetings. The bill also directs the Board to hold one regular annual meeting at which it shall elect a chairman and vice-chairman from its membership and appoint an executive committee to transact business during recess of the Board. Finally, the bill provides for a quorum of a simple majority of the Board members then serving, and in absence of a quorum, allows those present to receive information, but take no action upon, items on a meeting agenda distributed in advance to the full membership. Under current law, there is no provision for a term lapse for a Board member's failure to attend regular meetings, a quorum is 13, whether or not all 25 Board members authorized are actually serving, and there are no provisions for selection of an executive committee.
