2015 SESSION
15104835DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 33.2-200 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 33.2-200. Commonwealth Transportation Board; membership; terms; vacancies.
The Board shall have a total membership of 18 members that
shall consist of 14 nonlegislative citizen members and four ex officio members
as follows: the Secretary of Transportation, the Commissioner of Highways, the
Director of the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, and the Executive
Director of the Virginia Port Authority. The nonlegislative citizen members
shall be appointed by the Governor as provided in § 33.2-201, subject to
confirmation by the General Assembly, and shall serve at the pleasure of the
Governor. Appointments of nonlegislative citizen members shall be for terms
of four years commencing on July 1, upon the expiration of the terms of the
existing members, respectively. Vacancies shall be filled by appointment by the
Governor for the unexpired term and shall be effective until 30 days after the
next meeting of the ensuing General Assembly and, if confirmed, thereafter for
the remainder of the term. No nonlegislative citizen member shall be eligible
to serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. The remainder of any term
to which a member is appointed to fill a vacancy shall not constitute a term in
determining that member's eligibility for reappointment. Ex officio members of
the Board shall serve terms coincident with their terms of office.
The Secretary shall serve as chairman of the Board and shall have voting privileges only in the event of a tie. The Commissioner of Highways shall serve as vice-chairman of the Board and shall have voting privileges only in the event of a tie when he is presiding during the absence of the chairman. The Director of the Department of Rail and Public Transportation and the Executive Director of the Virginia Port Authority shall not have voting privileges.
2. That the provisions of this act shall become effective on July 1, 2016.
