Code Commission approves three‑year LexisNexis contract extension; one abstention recorded
Summary
The commission approved a three‑year extension to the LexisNexis publication contract for the Code of Virginia; the extension was described as costing the commission nothing and Commissioner Christopher Nolan abstained due to a law‑firm relationship with the contractor.
Staff reported that the current contract for publication of the Code of Virginia (signed in 2019) includes extension options and recommended exercising a three‑year extension through August 31, 2029. The procurement was described as providing publisher services at no direct cost to the commission. "It costs us nothing," a staff member told the commission while explaining the contractual arrangement.
Commissioner Christopher Nolan stated he would abstain because his law firm performs work for the parent company of LexisNexis. The commission moved, seconded and approved the contract extension; the record notes Nolan's abstention. The commission also discussed that the publisher receives credit for the work done for the Code in conjunction with the commission's advice and consent.
