Bill Summary

Virginia Commission on Youth; membership; nonlegislative citizen member; person younger than 18 years of age. Requires at least one of the nonlegislative citizen members appointed by the Governor to the Virginia Commission on Youth to be a minor at the time of appointment. The bill provides that a minor nonlegislative citizen member who reaches 18 years of age during the term to which he was appointed is permitted to continue to serve until his term expires. Under current law, nonlegislative citizen members serve terms of four years; the bill provides that minor nonlegislative citizen members serve terms of two years.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Virginia Commission on Youth's membership requirements by mandating that at least one of the nonlegislative citizen members appointed by the Governor must be a minor (under 18 years old) at the time of their appointment. It also clarifies that if a minor member turns 18 during their term, they can continue serving until their term ends, and it changes the term length for these minor members from the standard four years to two years, while allowing them to finish their appointed term if they reach adulthood. The Virginia Commission on Youth is a legislative body tasked with studying and recommending policies and services for the Commonwealth's youth and their families.
