Legal Services Corporation August 6, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Governing Bodies
Document Number: 2018-16765
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2018-08-06
Agency: Legal Services Corporation, Agencies and Commissions
This proposed rule revises the Legal Services Corporation (LSC or Corporation) regulation regarding recipient governing bodies. LSC is proposing two revisions to give recipient governing bodies flexibility in how they recruit, appoint, and retain client eligible members while remaining faithful to the LSC Act's requirement to appoint client- eligible board members who may also represent associations or organizations of eligible clients. First, LSC proposes to revise the definition of the term eligible client to remove the requirement that a client-eligible board member must be financially eligible ``at the time of appointment to each term of office'' (emphasis added). Second, LSC proposes to eliminate the requirement that client-eligible members be appointed by outside groups.
