HB12
Advisory Boards for the Virginia Industries for the Blind. Combines
the regional advisory boards for the Virginia Industries for the Blind
in Charlottesville and Richmond into one state board with a reduced membership.
The two existing boards began to conduct joint meetings in 1998 as an
efficiency measure, and the joint venture has proved to be successful.
Under current law, an advisory board is created for each manufacturing
and servicing district established. Because only two service districts
currently exist and the Department does not anticipate that any more will
be created, the authority of the Board for the Blind and Vision Impaired
to establish advisory boards is repealed. This bill is a recommendation
of the Joint Subcommittee to Study the Operations, Practices, Duties,
and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils,
and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002). This bill
incorporates HB 204.

HB204

Under current law, an advisory board is created for each manufacturing
and servicing district established. Because only two service districts
currently exist and the Department does not anticipate that any more will
be created, the authority of the Board for the Blind and Vision Impaired
to establish advisory boards is repealed. This bill is identical to HB12,
which was recommended by the Joint Subcommittee to Study the Operations,
Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards,
Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR
159 (2002). This bill is incorporated into HB 12.
