11101763DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 2.2-613 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 2.2-613. Agency mandates on localities; assessment.
Pursuant to § 15.2-2903, all agencies, as defined in §
2.2-128, shall conduct an assessment of all mandates imposed on local
governments administered by the agency to determine which mandates, if any, may
be altered or eliminated. [ Such assessment shall include a detailed
cost-benefit analysis and utilization of performance-based metrics to determine
the value of the mandate in relation to the required or intended output or
desired result. With respect to state mandates imposed on local
governments, such assessments shall include an estimate of the fiscal impact of
the mandates on the affected local governments in addition to a written justification
as to why the mandate should or should not be eliminated. ]
