HB 335 Organization of local government.

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

SUMMARY:

Organization of local government. Clarifies the existing law which gives localities authority to organize their departments by expanding such authority to offices, boards, commissions and agencies and the organizational structure thereof. The bill also provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, general or special, no locality shall establish any governmental entity which has authority to offer telecommunications equipment, infrastructure or services. Exceptions are provided for certain intragovernmental uses and for the Town of Abingdon (described by proximity to Interstate 81). Localities are permitted to sell their existing telecommunications infrastructure and equipment. The act contains a sunset clause of July 1, 2000.
