SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Virginia Recycling Markets Development Council. Revises the duties of the Virginia Recycling Markets Development Council to refocus the Council's primary mission on (i) assisting agencies, authorities, and localities to meet their recycling needs, if requested and (ii) identifying and evaluating existing or proposed state statutes, policies, regulations, and procedures that may attract or deter new businesses or the expansion or retention of existing businesses that can use recycled or recovered materials. The Council's annual reporting requirement is replaced with the duty to report if requested by the Governor, a resolution of the General Assembly, a standing or joint study committee of the General Assembly, the Secretary of Natural Resources or the Department of Environmental Quality. The bill also establishes term limits for the citizen members of the Council. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee to Study the Operations, Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002).
