Description

Christopher Newport University. Facilitates Christopher Newport University's ability to begin construction that is needed as a result of fire damage. On August 4, 2006, Christopher Newport University's Madison Hall dormitory burned, thereby rendering the building uninhabitable. The bill authorizes Christopher Newport University to proceed immediately with the construction necessary to rebuild this structure by exempting Christopher Newport University, for only this capital project, from the public procurement process and the Art and Architectural Review Board's evaluation. The bill also authorizes the Secretary of Finance to provide Christopher Newport University with anticipation loans to begin the construction, with the loans being reimbursed from the insurance proceeds and other funds. The bill declares that an emergency exists and is in force from its passage. Read the Bill »
