SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Public-Private Competition Act. Creates the Public-Private Competition Act, which prohibits public bodies from engaging in any commercial activity, defined in the bill to mean any activity that can be performed by an existing private business. The bill creates an exemption for commercial activities that public bodies are required to perform pursuant to the Constitution of Virginia. The bill also repeals the Competitive Government Act, which requires the Governor to (i) conduct a study at least once every two years to examine whether at least three commercial activities being performed by state employees at state agencies and institutions are being accomplished in the most cost-efficient and effective manner and (ii) outsource any commercial activity for which the study determines that outsourcing may result in reduced costs or otherwise provide a measurable benefit to the Commonwealth.
