HB 1510 State Public Records Advisory Council.

Introduced by: M. Kirkland Cox | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

State Public Records Advisory Council. Abolishes the State Public Records Advisory Council. The Council proposes to the State Library Board rules, regulations, and standards for the purpose of establishing uniform guidelines for the management and preservation of public records throughout the Commonwealth. The Council has not been able to function to the full capacity of its mission because its duties and responsibilities are vague and members have full-time positions with little time to become familiar with public recordkeeping issues. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Operations, Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002).
