A. The Information Technology Advisory Council (ITAC) is established as an
advisory council, within the meaning of &#xA7; 2.2-2100, in the executive branch
of state government. The ITAC shall be responsible for advising, and making
recommendations to, the Chief Information Officer of the Commonwealth (CIO) and
the Secretary of Administration regarding information technology in the
Commonwealth, as detailed in &#xA7; 2.2-2699.6.

B. The ITAC shall consist of not more than 20 members as follows: (i) the
Secretary of Administration, or his designee, the CIO, and another of the
Governor&#8217;s Secretaries as defined in subsection E of &#xA7; 2.2-200, or
his designee, all of whom shall serve ex officio with voting privileges; (ii)
four members of the House of Delegates, to be appointed by the Speaker of the
House of Delegates; (iii) three members of the Senate, to be appointed by the
Senate Committee on Rules; and (iv) an even number, not to exceed 10, of
nonlegislative citizen members to be appointed by the Governor and serve with
voting privileges.
			Legislative members and ex officio members of the ITAC shall serve terms
coincident with their terms of office. Nonlegislative citizen members shall
represent a diversity of appropriate experience and expertise and, after an
initial staggering of terms, shall be appointed for terms of four years.
Appointments to fill vacancies, other than by expiration of a term, shall be for
the unexpired terms. All members may be reappointed. However, no nonlegislative
citizen member shall serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. Initial
appointment terms of one year or two years and the remainder of any term to
which a member is appointed to fill a vacancy shall not constitute a term in
determining the member&#8217;s eligibility for reappointment. Vacancies shall be
filled in the same manner as the original appointments.

C. The ITAC shall elect a chairman and vice-chairman annually from among the
members, except that neither the Secretary of Administration nor the CIO may
serve as chairman. A majority of the members shall constitute a quorum. The
meetings of the ITAC shall be held at the call of the chairman, the Secretary of
Administration, or the CIO, or whenever the majority of the members so request.

D. Legislative members of the ITAC shall receive such compensation as provided
in &#xA7; 30-19.12, and nonlegislative citizen members shall receive such
compensation for the performance of their duties as provided in &#xA7; 2.2-2813.
All members shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary expenses
incurred in the performance of their duties as provided in &#xA7;&#xA7; 2.2-2813
and 2.2-2825. Funding for the costs of compensation and expenses of the members
shall be provided by the Virginia Information Technologies Agency.

E. The disclosure requirements of subsection B of &#xA7; 2.2-3114 of the State
and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act shall apply to nonlegislative
citizen members of the ITAC.
