Description
Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002; definitions; review of proposals. Amends the definition of "qualifying project" to include any services designed to increase the productivity and efficiency of a responsible public entity. Currently such services require the direct or indirect use of technology. In addition the bill (i) requires that a public hearing be held by the responsible public entity on a proposal at least 30 days prior to entering into an interim or comprehensive agreement, and (ii) provides for the Auditor of Public Accounts to post copies of interim and comprehensive agreements that have been periodically reviewed by that office in an online database. The bill also establishes a working group convened by the Chairmen of the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology and the House Committee on General Laws to annually review model guidelines used by responsible public entities and to consider best practices recommendations. Amends § 56-575.1 (“Definitions.”), § 56-575.17 (“Posting of conceptual proposals; public comment; public access to procurement records.”), § 56-575.18 (“Auditor of Public Accounts.”), of the Code of Virginia.
