SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 95
(By Senators Helmick and Facemyer)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study
state agencies' use of state-owned meeting facilities.
Whereas, Almost every agency of state government conducts
training, seminars and meetings for its employees throughout the
year; and
Whereas, Many of these meetings are held throughout the state
at privately operated venues in close proximity of state-owned
meeting facilities; and
Whereas, There are potential savings to state agencies through
the use of state-owned facilities and those facilities may benefit
by having lower vacancy rates and full-year activities; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study state agencies' use of state-owned meeting
facilities; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2006, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
