SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 397 Offered January 10, 2001 Prefiled January 10, 2001 Continuing the Joint Subcommittee to Study Creation of a Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Authority. ---------- Patrons-- Barry, Byrne and Howell; Delegates: Rollison and Rust ---------- Referred to Committee on Rules ----------

WHEREAS, through the passage of Senate Joint Resolution No. 121, the 2000 Session of the Virginia General Assembly established the Joint Subcommittee to Study Creation of a Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Authority; and

WHEREAS, although the Joint Subcommittee held five well-attended and informative meetings in the course of 2000, the complexity of the issues, the number and variety of jurisdictions affected, and the high cost and political sensitivity of possible recommendations have made it impossible for the Joint Subcommittee to complete its study within the time contemplated by SJR 121 of the 2000 Session; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That the Joint Subcommittee to Study Creation of a Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Authority, established pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution No. 121, agreed to by the 2000 Session of the Virginia General Assembly, is hereby continued for an additional year. All members appointed to the Joint Subcommittee shall continue to serve, with any vacancies being filled in the same manner as the original appointment.

The direct costs of this study shall not exceed $9,250.

All agencies of the Commonwealth shall provide assistance to the Joint Subcommittee, upon request.

The Joint Subcommittee shall complete its work in time to submit its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the 2002 Session of the General Assembly as provided in the procedures of the Division of Legislative Automated Systems for the processing of legislative documents.

Implementation of this resolution is subject to subsequent approval and certification by the Joint Rules Committee. The Committee may withhold expenditures or delay the period for the conduct of the study.
