Introduced by: Vincent F. Callahan, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

State agencies to provide notice before reducing certain services and financial assistance to localities. Provides that no state agency or other entity of the Commonwealth shall take any action to reduce or discontinue a service which it performs for a locality or reduce or discontinue any form of financial assistance to a locality without first notifying all affected localities and the Virginia Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) at least 90 days in advance of such proposed action. However, in an emergency, certified by the Governor for executive agencies or by the chief administrative officer for any other entity of the Commonwealth, such action may be taken immediately following notice. The ACIR shall hold hearings on any such notice and shall render an advisory report to the Governor and to the succeeding session of the General Assembly on the ramifications of such action. The bill does not apply to any action taken by an executive agency or other entity of the Commonwealth pursuant to a specific legislative requirement or judicial decree or agreement negotiated with a local government.
