3) The remaining 2 members shall be representatives of each of the Division's officially constituted advisory organizations: The Fort Delaware Society and the Natural Areas Advisory Council. These members shall be appointed annually by their respective organizations."

SYNOPSIS
|
This bill updates the code to define eligible members of the Parks and Recreation Council appointed by the Governor. When the Parks and Recreation Council was created, the former Recreation Advisory Council was eliminated; this legislation would eliminate extraneous references to that defunct council. Further, the Bi-State Advisory Council for the White Clay Creek Preserve expired on December 31, 2010 by mutual agreement of Delaware and Pennsylvania. The ex-officio's seat formerly held by a representative of that group would now become a gubernatorial appointment from the related disciplines listed above in subsection (2). This section would also clarify that affiliation with a State Park friends organization may be a qualification for appointment. |
