MEETINGS; QUORUM; MAJORITY VOTE; PANEL TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATION AND MAKE REPORT;
COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES (§ 15.2-2904)

The Commission shall fix the time and place for holding regular meetings, which
shall be held at least once every two months. Special meetings of the Commission
may be called by any member and shall be held on such occasions as may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the duties imposed by this chapter. The
chairman shall cause to be mailed to all members, at least five days in advance
of a special meeting, written notice fixing the time, place, and purpose of such
meeting. Written notice of a special meeting shall not be required if the time
of the special meeting has been fixed at a regular meeting or if all members
file a written waiver of notice. A majority of the members shall constitute a
quorum, and no action of the Commission shall be valid unless authorized by a
majority vote of those present.
		The Commission may appoint a panel of three members of the Commission to
conduct any hearing and investigation and make any report required by this
chapter. Any vote taken or report made shall be only by those members of the
Commission who sat on the panel that heard the evidence. Any temporary absence
of a panel member from a hearing will not disqualify such member from
participation in the vote or discussion, deliberation, drafting or approval of a
report.
		Notwithstanding the provisions of § 2.2-2813, each member of the Commission
shall be compensated at the rate of $100 per day, plus reasonable and necessary
expenses, for each day or portion thereof in which the member is engaged in the
business of the Commission.
