SUMMARY:

Study; science and technology. Continues the Task Force on Science and Technology as the joint subcommittee on science and technology. The joint subcommittee will endeavor to serve as the filter for ideas and issues related to science and technology, and, in this regard, will seek presentations and information designed to expand the members' understanding of the interactions between public elementary and secondary education and public higher education and economic development and excellence in scientific research.

In its deliberations, the joint subcommittee will (i) consult with the Virginia Retirement System to develop ways to encourage VRS investments in venture/capital projects that will be fiscally sound, recognize VRA's fiduciary duty to handle the moneys entrusted to them with care and integrity; (ii) foster and encourage the evolution of a telecommunications infrastructure offering reasonable and affordable prices to the Commonwealth's school boards and to Virginia's public institutions of higher education; and (iii) support and assist the Center for Innovative Technology in fulfilling its promise as a leader in science and technology for the citizens of Virginia.
