EXPENSES OF CERTAIN BOARDS; APPEARANCES BEFORE GENERAL ASSEMBLY (§ 2.2-2106)

A. The board of directors of the several state hospitals and the governing
boards of educational institutions in the Commonwealth shall receive their
actual, itemized expenses incurred in the discharge of their duties in attending
the meetings of the boards or committees.

B. No officer of any public institution of higher education, school, hospital,
or other institution or board maintained in part or in whole by the Commonwealth
shall spend or appropriate any money for the purpose of sending any member of
the board or officials of such institution or other person to appear before the
General Assembly, or any committee thereof, for the purpose of advocating in any
way any appropriation for any institution supported in whole or in part by the
Commonwealth. However, when any committee of the General Assembly desires
information in regard to the needs of any state institution it may by proper
resolution so determine, and request that any institution or board thereof send
one or more competent persons to give the information desired, and the expense
thereof may be paid out of the funds appropriated by the Commonwealth for the
support of that institution.
