Action:
Repeal Regulations Governing the Process for Submitting Proposals to Consolidate School Divisions
Action 4030
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Governor’s 2012 Regulatory Reform Initiative was established to “repeal regulations that are unnecessary or no longer in use, reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens on individuals, businesses, and other regulated groups, and identify statutes that require unnecessary or overly burdensome regulations.” Three Board of Education regulations were identified as meeting these criteria, as they duplicate requirements already set forth in the Code of Virginia, including Regulations Governing the Process for Submitting Proposals to Consolidate School Divisions (8 VAC 20-710). However, the language in § 22.1-25 of the Code requires the Board to promulgate regulations about the consolidation of school divisions.
The Governor proposed legislation to eliminate the statutory requirements for the Board of Education to promulgate these regulations. The legislation, SB 1201 (McDougle), which was passed unanimously by the 2013 General Assembly and signed by the Governor, eliminated references to the Board of Education’s responsibility for promulgating these regulations in § 22.1-25 of the Code.
