However, there are three specific State Commission requirements which the Corporation may waive if a State can demonstrate that one or more of them is impossible or unreasonable to meet. If the Corporation waives a State Commission requirement for a State entity, that State entity is, de facto, an AAE. The three criteria which may be waived for an AAE are as follows: (1) The requirement that a State's chief executive officer appoint the members of a State Commission. If a State can offer a compelling reason why some or all of the State Commission members should be appointed by the State legislature or by some other appropriate means, the Corporation may grant a waiver. (2) The requirement that a State Commission have 15-25 members. If a State compellingly demonstrates why its commission should have a larger number of members, the Corporation may grant a waiver. (3) The requirement that not more than 50% plus one of the State Commission's voting members be from the same political party. This requirement was established to prevent State Commissions from being politically motivated or controlled; however, in some States it is illegal to require prospective members to provide information about political party affiliation. For this or another compelling reason, the Corporation may grant a waiver. (b) Again, any time the Corporation grants one or more of these waivers for a State entity, that entity becomes an AAE; in all other respects an AAE is the same as a State Commission, having the same requirements, rights, duties and responsibilities. ## Nearby sections - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.10 (2026) § 2550.10 What is the purpose of this part?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_10.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.20 (2026) § 2550.20 Definitions.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_20.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.30 (2026) § 2550.30 How does a State decide whether to establish a State commission or an alternative administrative entity?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_30.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.40 (2026) § 2550.40 How does a State obtain Corporation authorization and approval for the entity it has chosen?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_40.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.50 (2026) § 2550.50 What are the composition requirements and other requirements, restrictions or guidelines for State Commissions?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_50.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.60 (2026) § 2550.60 From which of the State Commission requirements is an Alternative Administrative Entity exempt?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_60.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.80 (2026) § 2550.80 What are the duties of the State entities?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_80.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.85 (2026) § 2550.85 How will the State Plan be assessed?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_85.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.90 (2026) § 2550.90 Are there any restrictions on the activities of the members of State Commissions or Alternative Administrative Entities?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_90.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.100 (2026) § 2550.100 Do State entities or their members incur any risk of liability?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_100.md) - [45 C.F.R. § 2550.110 (2026) § 2550.110 What grants will be available from the Corporation to assist in establishing and operating a State Commission, Alternative Administrative Entity, or Transitional Entity?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_110.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T45_P2550_S2550_60.
