SB 6 State agency reports; changes in distribution of annual and biennial copies.
Introduced by: Stephen H. Martin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Distribution of reports. Replaces the automatic distribution of paper copies of annual and biennial agency reports to certain state officials with an on-demand electronic notification and retrieval system of reports available from the General Assembly's website. Members of the General Assembly would also have the option of receiving paper copies of reports upon request. Under current law, the Division of Purchases and Supply of the Department of General Services (DGS) is assigned the responsibility of providing agencies with advice on publishing their reports and maintaining a distribution list for those reports. However, the provisions relating to the duties of DGS are obsolete because agencies have assumed responsibility for the publication and distribution of their own reports. The bill also requires the Division of Legislative Automated Systems to notify persons who are currently entitled to receive annual and biennial reports regarding the change to the new system. The bill clarifies that agency reports include reports by institutions, collegial bodies and other governmental entities. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee to Study the Operations, Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002).
