Bill Summary
Local boards of social services; appointments; terms of office. Changes the limit on consecutive terms of office from two consecutive full terms to three consecutive full terms for appointed members of local boards of social services.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Virginia law regarding the appointment and terms of office for members of local boards of social services, which are governmental bodies responsible for overseeing social services within a locality. The key change is to increase the limit on consecutive full terms an appointed member can serve from two to three. This means individuals can now be reappointed for up to three full four-year terms in a row. The bill also clarifies that serving out an unexpired term does not count towards this consecutive term limit, and after serving three consecutive full terms, a member must wait two years before being eligible for reappointment. However, this limit does not apply to members who are also on a county's board of supervisors or in situations where a local government official automatically serves as the local board.
