1937, ch. 331, sec. 20.

20. The Commission shall establish such delegations and committees
as it deems advisable, in order that they may confer and formulate pro-
posals concerning effective means to secure intergovernmental harmony,
and may perform other functions for the Commission in obedience to its
decisions. Subject to the approval of the Commission, the member or
members of each such delegation or committee shall be appointed by the
Chairman of the Commission. State officials or employees who are not
members of the Commission on Intergovernmental Co-operation may be
appointed as members of any such delegation or committee, but private
citizens holding no governmental position in this State shall not be eligible.
The Commission may provide such other rules as it considers appropriate
concerning the membership and the functioning of any such delegation
or committee. The Commission may provide for advisory boards for itself
and for its various delegations and committees, and may authorize private
citizens to serve on such boards.

1937, ch. 331, see. 21.

21. The Commission shall report to the Governor and to the Legislature
within fifteen days after the convening of each regular legislative session,
and at such other times as it deems appropriate. Its members and the mem-
bers, of all delegations and committees which it establishes shall serve with-
out compensation for such service, but they shall be paid their necessary
expenses in carrying out their obligations under this sub-title. The Com-
mission may employ a secretary and a stenographer, it may incur such
other expenses as may be necessary for the proper performance of its duties,
and it may, by contributions to the Council of State Governments, partici-
pate with other States in maintaining the said Council's district and cen-
tral secretaries, and its other governmental services.

24. The Secretary of State shall forthwith communicate the text of this
measure to the Governor, to the Senate, and to the House of Representa-
tives, of each of the other States of the Union, and shall advise each legis-
lature which has not already done so that it is hereby memorialized to
enact a law similar to this measure, thus establishing a similar commission,
and thus joining with this State in the common cause of reducing the
burdens which are imposed upon the citizens of every State by govern-
mental confusion, competition and conflict.
