However, there has been no <br />7 legislative supervision which would allow for the systematic <br />8 review of such committees to ascertain which committees may have <br />9 outlived their usefulness yet remain on the statutes through <br />10 oversight or neglect and which committees may have failed to <br />11 perform the functions for which they were created. To assure <br />12 that previously created advisory committees received this <br />13 supervision, the review and hearing provisions set forth in <br />14 subsection (2) of this section and the schedule set forth in <br />15 subsection (3) of this section were created in 1986, and repeal <br />16 prOVisions were added to the existing statutory authorizations <br />17 for such committees. To assure that newly created advisory <br />18 committees are supervised and subjected to such a review, any <br />19 advisory committee created on or after July 1, 1990, shall have <br />.20 a life not to exceed six years, and the statutory authorization <br />21 for the committee shall contain a corresponding repeal <br />22 provision. AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE CREATED ON OR AFTER JULY 1, <br />23 1994, SHALL HAVE A LIFE NOT TO EXCEED TEN YEARS, AND THE <br />24 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION FOR THE COMMITTEE SHALL CONTAIN A <br />25 CORRESPONDING REPEAL PROVISION. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACTING <br />26 BY BILL, MAY RESCHEDULE THE REVIEW DATE FOR AN ADVISORY <br /> <br />-2- <br />
