Passed

P HB1509

State Networking Users Advisory Board. Abolishes the State Networking Users Advisory Board. The Board was created in the 1980s to enable integration of the library networking system between The Library of Virginia and other libraries across the state. The Board is no longer necessary because it has accomplished its objective. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Operations, Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002).

P HB1510

State Public Records Advisory Council. Abolishes the State Public Records Advisory Council. The Council proposes to the State Library Board rules, regulations, and standards for the purpose of establishing uniform guidelines for the management and preservation of public records throughout the Commonwealth. The Council has not been able to function to the full capacity of its mission because its duties and responsibilities are vague and members have full-time positions with little time to become familiar with public recordkeeping issues. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Operations, Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002).
