HB 1301 Competition Council; private enterprise.

Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Virginia Competition Council; private enterprise. Transfers the duties of Virginia's Private Enterprise Commission to the Virginia Competition Council. The Private Enterprise Commission currently reviews the practices of government agencies and nonprofit organizations, not including public and private colleges and universities, which may constitute inappropriate competition with private enterprise, including exemption from personal property, business and license taxes; reduced postage and interest rates; and volunteer labor and financial contributions. In addition, the bill adds certain definitions to clarify the duties of the Council and increases the membership from 10 to 15. The House of Delegates and the Senate will each have an additional member on the Council. From the private sector, the Speaker of the House will now appoint two members, rather than one; the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections two, rather than one; and the Governor three, rather than two.
