§ 2.2-2102 “Citizen member” appointments to executive branch boards and commissions
Positions on boards and commissions designated for “citizen members,” “consumer members,” and “representatives of the public” are intended to ensure that the composition of a particular board or commission reflects citizen as well as professional interests. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Governor shall, when making an appointment to an executive branch board or commission specifically designated for a “citizen member,” “consumer member,” or “representative of the public,” appoint a person who (i) is not by training or experience a practitioner in the subject area of concern to the board or commission, (ii) is not the spouse, parent, child or sibling of such a practitioner, and (iii) has no direct or indirect financial interest, except as a consumer, in the subject area of concern to the board or commission.
History
This law was first created in 1984. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 579 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1984 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 1 time. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. That modification is as follows: in 2001, chapter 844.
1984, c. 579, § 9-6.24; 2001, c. 844.
