Bill > HB1031

This bill establishes the Commission on Legislature Modernization, a legislative commission tasked with studying the operation and functionality of the Virginia General Assembly and identifying ways to make the legislature more effective, efficient, responsive, reflective, and transparent. The 17-member commission, consisting of legislators, non-legislative citizen members, and ex officio members, will convene every 10 years in the year ending in four for a two-year period. The commission is required to submit an executive summary after its first year and a final report with recommendations at the end of its second year. The bill provides for the commission's staffing, compensation, and funding, and specifies that the commission will terminate after submitting its final report.
