Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 10-3, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:
§ 10-3. There shall be a Board of Conservation and Economic De-
velopment, hereafter in this title sometimes called the Board. The terms
of the members of the Board in office on June 27, 1958, are terminated.
Thereafter the Board shall consist of * twelve members to be appointed
by the Governor subject to confirmation by the General Assembly, if in
session when such appointments are made, at that session, or if not in
session, at the next succeeding session. Persons so appointed shall hold
office at the pleasure of the Governor for terms as follows: Of the initial
appointments, two shall be for terms of one year, two shall be for terms
of two years, two shall be for terms of three years, and three shall be
for terms of four years each, and thereafter all appointments shall be
for terms of four years each. 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 appoint-
ments, the Governor shall endeavor to select appointees of such qualifica-
tions 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 Com-
monwealth, 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 subcommittees any powers and duties which may be con-
Sas by law upon the Board in relation to such special interests and
problems.
