Introduced by: Henry L. Marsh III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Voluntary contribution to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission Fund. Allows individuals entitled to an income tax refund to contribute a portion, at least $1, or all of the refund to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission Fund for taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2004. The Fund provides support for the work of and generates nonstate funds to maintain the Martin Luther King, Jr. Living History and Public Policy Center. The Center was created pursuant to State law that required a permanent memorial to be established to honor Dr. King in the Commonwealth. The Living History and Public Policy Center, a component of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission, is a virtual center composed, initially, of a consortia of nine public and private institutions of higher education in Virginia that, among other things, provides educational and cultural programs throughout the Commonwealth, conducts and produces scholarly research and publications, interfaces with public and private undergraduate and graduate programs, supports the academic programs in grades K-12 in public and private schools, offers doctoral fellowship programs, and produces policy analyses of issues specific to Virginia and contemporary issues relative to the principles of Dr. King. The programs and resources of the Center are made available to all citizens via the Commonwealth's vast technological infrastructure.
This bill is a recommendation of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission.
