COMMISSION ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Schedule for the Assessment of State and Federal Mandates on Local Governments
Pursuant to the provisions of §§ 2.2-613 and 15.2-2903 of the Code of Virginia, the following schedule, established by the Commission on Local Government and approved by Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrik and Governor Glenn A. Youngkin, represents the timetable that the listed executive agencies will follow in conducting their assessments of certain state and federal mandates that they administer that are imposed on local governments. Such mandates are new (in effect for at least 24 months), newly identified, or have been significantly altered as to warrant a reassessment of the mandate (and have been in effect for 24 months). In conducting these assessments, agencies will follow the process established by Executive Order 58 (October 11, 2007). These mandates are abstracted in the Catalog of State and Federal Mandates on Local Governments published by the Commission on Local Government.
For further information contact Grace Wheaton, Senior Policy Analyst, Commission on Local Government, email grace.wheaton@dhcd.virginia.gov, telephone (804) 310-3410, or visit the commission's website at www.dhcd.virginia.gov.
