Bill > SB91

This bill proposes to rename the Eastern Virginia Health Sciences Center at Old Dominion University as Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University, making this change across various sections of the Code of Virginia that reference the former name. The bill amends existing laws related to public institutions of higher education, including provisions on prohibited contracts by state government officers and employees, exclusions to the Freedom of Information Act, procedures for closed meetings, and the operations of health sciences centers. Specifically, it updates references in sections concerning conflict of interest rules for public institutions of higher education, the exclusion of proprietary information from public disclosure, the authorized purposes for closed meetings, educational programs in regional detention homes, the structure and operations of health sciences centers, the Virginia Cord Blood Bank Initiative, the Research and Clinical Trial Cancer Consortium Initiative, and the medical advisory panel for birth-related injury claims. The changes are primarily to reflect the new name "Virginia Health Sciences" in place of "Eastern Virginia Health Sciences Center" where it appears in these legal contexts.
