Description

Legislative appointees on certain boards. Designates legislative appointing authorities to appoint legislators who serve on the Tourist Train Development Authority, the Chippokes Plantation Farm Foundation Board, and the Potomac River Basin Commission. Currently, the Governor makes these appointments, although it is usually customary for the legislature to appoint its own members. One additional House member is added to the Tourist Train Development Authority so that both houses have representation on the Authority. The bill also provides that the nonlegislative citizen member appointed to the Potomac River Basin Authority will be appointed at large and that alternate members must reside within the Potomac River drainage basin. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee to Study the Balance of Powers Between the Legislative and Executive Branches pursuant to HJR 707 (2005). Read the Bill »
