Summary:
The action repeals Regulations for Public/Private Joint Venture Work Programs Operated in a State Correctional Facility (6VAC15-28). Chapters 94 and 854 of the 2003 Acts of Assembly divested the Board of Corrections (predecessor to the State Board of Local and Regional Jails) of authority to regulate public and private work programs operated in state correctional facilities. Therefore this regulation should be repealed.
