expressly that the evaluation must be made by an
"evaluation committee".

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the references
to an evaluation committee "for the Senate" and "for
the House of Delegates" are added to clarify the scope
of authority of the President and the Speaker.

In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "on or
before May 31" is substituted for the former
limitation "[b]efore June 1", for clarity.
