Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 2.2-1102 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 2.2-1102. Additional powers and duties of Department.

A. The Department shall have the following additional powers, all of which, with the approval of the Director of the Department, may be exercised by a division of the Department with respect to matters assigned to that division:

1. Prescribe regulations necessary or incidental to the performance of duties or execution of powers conferred under this chapter; and

2. Establish fee schedules that may be collectible from users when general fund appropriations are not applicable to the services rendered.

B. All statewide contracts and agreements made and entered into by the Department for the purchase of computers, software, supplies, and related peripheral equipment and services shall provide for the inclusion of counties, cities, and towns in such contracts and agreements. For good cause shown, the Secretary of Administration may disapprove the inclusion from a specific contract or agreement.

C. The Department may operate or provide for the operation of hazardous waste management facilities.

D. The Department shall establish a minimum fee for all procurement contracts made with the Department of General Service's web-based electronic procurement program commonly known as "eVA." The fee shall be charged, in accordance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act (§ 2.2-4300 et seq.), in lieu of a percentage-based fee when the percentage-based fee is lower than that of the minimum fee established under this subsection. The minimum fee shall be set at a rate that ensures eVa operates as a financially self-supporting application.
