Description
Suspension of state mandates. Requires the Governor, upon application by a locality, to suspend any mandate, or portion thereof, for a period not to exceed two years, prescribed by any unit of the executive branch of state government on a locality upon a finding that it faces fiscal stress and the suspension of the mandate or portion thereof would help alleviate the fiscal hardship. Under existing law, the Governor may suspend such mandates for up to one year, but is not required to do so. Amends § 2.2-113 (“Temporary suspension of state mandates.”), of the Code of Virginia.
