TITLE 22. SOCIAL SERVICES
DEPARTMENT FOR THE BLIND AND
VISION IMPAIRED
Report of Findings
Pursuant to §§ 2.2-4007.1 and 2.2-4017 of the Code of Virginia, the Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI) conducted a periodic review and a small business impact review of 22VAC45-20, Regulations to Govern the Operation of Vending Facilities in Public Buildings and Other Property, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The department is publishing its report of findings dated March 27, 2020, to support this decision.
This regulation meets the criteria set out in Executive Order 14 (as amended July 2018) because it authorizes DBVI to operate vending stands and other business enterprises in public and private buildings for the purpose of providing individuals who are blind with employment, enlarging the economic opportunities, and stimulating individuals who are blind to make themselves self-supporting. Additionally, it directs DBVI to set aside or cause to be set aside from the net proceeds of the operations authorized funds as may be necessary for the purposes of (i) maintenance and replacement of equipment, (ii) purchase of new equipment, (iii) management services, (iv) assurance of a fair minimum return to vendors, and (v) establishment and maintenance of retirement or pension funds, health insurance contributions, and the provision for paid sick leave and vacation time in accordance with the Randolph-Sheppard Act Amendment of 1974 (P.L. 93-516). Though detailed in nature, 22VAC45-20 is easy to read and understand.
DBVI will leave this regulation as it exists currently.
22VAC45-20 is required for DBVI to be in compliance with §§ 2.2-2007.1, 2.2-4017, and 51.5-78 and Executive Order 14 (as amended July 2018). The agency has not received any complaints or other comments concerning the regulation.
22VAC45-20 describes requirements for the operation of a Business Enterprise for the Blind. This regulation was last evaluated in 2018 and 2019 when DBVI initiated a fast-track regulatory action that, among other things, revised language regarding the frequency of setting aside funds and distribution of income to blind vendors from quarterly to at least quarterly to reflect federal language. The regulation does not conflict with state or federal regulation. The regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law or regulation. There are no substantial changes in technology, economic conditions, or other factors that affect the importance of implementation of the regulation.
Economic impact on small business generally is negligible because the regulation pertains specifically to the operation of vending facilities in public buildings and other property by individuals who are blind.
