THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: We feel it is un-
necessary.
THE CHAIRMAN: The suggestion is
not agreed to.
Is there any further question?
Is there any discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 39 to Committee Recom-
mendation JB-1 to amend section 5.20, by
adding at the end, after the period in line
24, a new sentence, reading: "A member
of a commission shall receive no compensa-
tion for his services."
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of Amend-
ment No. 39. A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your vote.
(Whereupon a roll call vote was taken.)
Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 113 votes in the affirmative
and 6 in the negative, the motion carries.
The amendment is adopted.
Are there any further amendments to
section 5.20? Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: Mr. Chairman,
will the Chairman of the Committee yield
for a question?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: I do not see any-
thing in our proposal, who shall call the
nominating commission together. Is it by
the action of the governor?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: As I recollect,
Delegate Della, without reviewing these
sections, and frankly, it would be within
the rule of the legislature to detail those
requirements, I assume. I think there is a
provision or there was a provision for the
chairman — what section is that?
THE CHAIRMAN: I assume that Dele-
gate Della refers to section 5.20, Delegate
|
Mudd. His question, as I understand it, is
that that section contains no provision for
the first meeting of the commission.
DELEGATE MUDD: I agree that it is
not mandated in the language of our com-
mittee recommendation, but certainly it is
implicit that the commission must assem-
ble because it is said in the second sen-
tence, each commission shall elect one of its
members as chairman, and from there on,
I would say the responsibility would be the
chairman's.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: Who would call
the nominating commission together in the
first instance?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: I would assume
it would be called together by notice from
someone when there is a vacancy to be
filled, if they had not previously elected a
chairman, that would be the first order of
business.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: Has your Com-
mittee considered that?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: No, frankly, we
had not.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there further
questions? Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: No.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any fur-
ther amendments to section 5.20? Delegate
Gleason.
DELEGATE GLEASON: Mr. Chairman,
I also have a question of the Chairman of
the Committee, please.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gleason.
DELEGATE GLEASON: Mr. Chairman,
in the next amendment that has come out
of the Legislative Branch Committee,
there is a provision there providing that
the General Assembly shall enact a conflict
of interest statute for all elected officials
of the state.
Is there anything within this recommen-
dation of the Committee or within your at-
tention that conflicts of interest would
cover these commissions?
