uniformity of Legislation in the United States; Their Duties; Traveling

missioners, who are hereby constituted a board of commissioners by
the name and style of commissioners for the promotion of uniformity
of legislation in the United States. It shall be the duty of said com-
missioners to examine subjects on which uniformity is desirable, to
ascertain the best means to effect uniformity in the laws of the states,
and to represent the State of Virginia in conventions of like com-
missioners heretofore appointed or to be appointed by other states to
consider and draft uniform laws to be submitted for approval of and
adoption by the several states, and to devise and recommend such
other course of action as shall best accomplish the purpose of this
section. Each of the said commissioners shall hold office at the
pleasure of the Governor for a term of two years. Vacancies shall be
filled by the Governor for unexpired terms. The said commissioners
shall receive no compensation for their services, but their necessary
traveling and hotel expenses shall be paid out of any funds which
may be appropriated for such purposes.
