Approved April 5, 1954
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1, That § 10-8 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted, as
follows:

§ 10-3. There shall be a Board of Conservation and Development,
hereafter in this title sometimes called the Board, which shall consist of
thirteen members to be appointed by the Governor, who shall hold office
at the pleasure of the Governor for terms as follows: Of the initial appoint-
ments, three shall be for terms of one year, three shall be for terms of
two years, three shall be for terms of three years, and four shall be for
terms of four years each, and thereafter all appointments shall be for
terms of four years each. Except as to persons who were in office on June
first, nineteen hundred fifty-four, no person shall be eligible to succeed him-
self as a member of the Board for more than one term. Any vacancy shall
be filled by the Governor for the unexpired term. In making appointments,
the Governor shall endeavor to select appointees of such qualifications and
experience that the membership of the Board shall include persons suitably
qualified to consider and act upon the various special interests and
problems of importance, which, under the laws of the Commonwealth, the
Board may be required to consider and act upon. The Board may appoint
subcommittees of not less than three, its members to consider and deal
with such special interests and problems, and may delegate to such sub-
committees any powers and duties which may be conferred by law upon the
Board in relation to such special interests and problems.
