Committee advances bill clarifying terms for Historic Preservation Commission
Summary
The Committee on Rules and Judiciary voted to report bill 36‑0140 favorably to the full Legislature. The measure clarifies term length and successor service for appointees to the Virgin Islands Historic Preservation Commission.
The Committee on Rules and Judiciary voted to forward bill 36‑0140, an act amending Title 3, Virgin Islands Code, chapter 22, section 403, to the full Legislature after a committee roll call vote that produced four yeas and three members absent.
The bill, moved by Senator Avery L. Lewis and seconded by Senator Angel L. Bocas Jr., clarifies the term of service for members of the Historic Preservation Commission and provides that members may continue to serve until a successor is duly appointed. The committee heard brief testimonial remarks from an official representing the State Historic Preservation Office who thanked the committee for legislative support and funding for preservation work.
Committee members discussed funding and administrative matters but did not alter the bill language in committee. The measure will be sent to the full body for further consideration and action.
