Bill Summary · HB 300

Legislative bill overview

HB 300 modifies Virginia's oversight procedures for cooperative agreements by establishing expiration timelines and defining the Attorney General's supervisory period. The bill also requires the transfer of records related to these agreements, though specific details about which agencies or agreement types are affected are not provided in the bill summary.

Why is this important

Cooperative agreements between government entities and private organizations can involve significant public resources and community services. Clarifying oversight periods and record-keeping requirements affects transparency, accountability, and the continuity of services these agreements provide to Virginia residents.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope ambiguity: The bill's language regarding which cooperative agreements apply and what constitutes the "oversight period" could be vague, creating implementation challenges across agencies
  • Administrative burden: Mandating record transfers may impose compliance costs on agencies and organizations without clear standardization of formats or procedures
  • Expiration implications: Automatic expiration timelines could disrupt ongoing beneficial agreements if renewal processes aren't clearly defined, potentially affecting service continuity
