AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 82, TITLE 14, DELAWARE CODE, BEING THE COMPACT FOR EDUCATION.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware:
Section 1. Article III, A of the Educational Compact as set forth in Chapter 82, title 14, Delaware Code, is amended by striking out the words "The Educational Commission of the States" and inserting in lieu thereof the words "The Education Commission of the States."
Section 2. Article VI, A of the Educational Compact as set forth in Chapter 82, title 14, Delaware Code, is amended to read:
ARTICLE VI. COMMITTEES
A. To assist in the expeditious conduct of its business when the full Commission is not meeting, the Commission shall elect a steering committee of thirty-two members which, subject to the provisions of this compact and consistent with the policies of the Commission, shall be constituted and function as provided in the bylaws of the Commission. One-fourth of the voting membership of the steering committee shall consist of Governors, one-fourth shall consist of Legislators, and the remainder shall consist of other members of the commission. A Federal representative on the Commission may serve with the steering committee, but without vote. The voting members of the steering committee shall serve for terms of two years, except that members elected to the first steering committee of the Commission shall be elected as follows: sixteen for one year and sixteen for two years. The chairman, vice chairman, and treasurer of the Commission shall be members of the steering committee and, anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, shall serve during their continuance in these offices. Vacancies in the steering committee shall not affect its authority to act, but the Commission at its next regularly ensuing meeting following the occurrence of
any vacancy shall fill it for the unexpired term. No person shall serve more than two terms as a member of the steering committee; provided that service for a partial term of one year or less shall not be counted toward the two term limitation.
