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

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

State Publications Depository Program.  Amends the State Publications Depository Program to include electronic publications, and clarifies that the requirements of the Program apply to all state agencies in any branch of government. The bill allows The Library of Virginia to authorize agencies to send certain publication information to the Library, instead of the publications themselves, to facilitate the collection and dissemination of state publications in electronic form. The bill creates a new reporting requirement for The Library of Virginia to annually report to the Governor and the chairmen of the House and Senate Committees on General Laws, the House Appropriations Committee, and the Senate Finance Committee which agencies do not send The Library of Virginia the publications required under the Depository Program. The bill creates a new chapter for the Depository Program, and includes a policy statement. The bill also repeals a current provision requiring The Library of Virginia to annually compile a listing of publications printed by each state agency during the previous fiscal year, which it must currently do in addition to the statutory requirement that it annually compile a catalog of all publications currently available at each agency. This bill is a recommendation of the HJR 6 study (2004).
