    Which communication was received and referred to the Committee on Confirmations and incorporated with the executive nominations received earlier this session; all to be considered as a special order of business for Saturday, April 13, 2013, at 11 a.m.

    The Senate proceeded to the fourth order of business.

    Senator Williams, from the Committee on Economic Development, submitted the following report, which was received:

    Your Committee on Economic Development has had under consideration

    Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 41 (originating in the Committee on Economic Development)--Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the critical access need for emergency electric generators; the best methods to ensure that businesses, public services and citizens have access to such emergency electric generators; and the feasibility of a tax credit to offset the costs of purchasing such emergency electric generators.

    Whereas, Recent natural events, including the derecho of June 2012, have increased the awareness of and need for emergency electric generators in West Virginia; and

    Whereas, The rural and mountainous terrain of much of West Virginia slows the restoration of electric service following natural disasters and other natural events, further underscoring the importance of access to emergency electric generators; and

    Whereas, Future preparedness for potential natural disasters and emergencies requires increased access to emergency electric generators; and

    Whereas, Uninterrupted access to certain critical services and goods, including health care, water, food and fuel, during emergency situations is an essential element in ensuring the safety and well being of the citizens of West Virginia; and

    Whereas, The cost of purchasing an emergency electric generator can be very expensive, especially to small businesses and individual citizens; therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

    That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study the critical access need for emergency electric generators; the best methods to ensure that businesses, public services and citizens have access to such emergency electric generators; and the feasibility of a tax credit to offset the costs of purchasing such emergency electric generators; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the West Virginia Division of Homeland Security is requested to assist the Joint Committee on Government and Finance in its study of emergency electric generators; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2014, 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.

    And reports the same back with the recommendation that it be adopted; but with the further recommendation that it first be referred to the Committee on Rules.

                             Respectfully submitted,

                               Bob Williams,

                                 Chair.

    At the request of Senator Williams, unanimous consent being granted, the resolution (S. C. R. No. 41) contained in the preceding report from the Committee on Economic Development was taken up for immediate consideration.

    On motion of Senator Williams, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules.

    Senator Snyder, from the Committee on Government Organization, submitted the following report, which was received:

    Your Committee on Government Organization has had under consideration

    Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 42 (originating in the Committee on Government Organization)--Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the state’s purchasing process and procedures, including the possible adoption of the Model Procurement Act.

    Whereas, It has been brought to the attention of the Legislature that the purchasing and procurement processes of the state are unclear; and

    Whereas, There is some discrepancy in the best purchasing process for the state, and a study may produce a procedure or refine an existing procedure conducive to efficient spending; and

    Whereas, Other states employ and advocate procurement methods that differ from that of West Virginia; therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

    That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study the state’s purchasing process and procedures, including the possible adoption of the Model Procurement Act; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2014, 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.

    And reports the same back with the recommendation that it be adopted; but with the further recommendation that it first be referred to the Committee on Rules.

                             Respectfully submitted,

                               Herb Snyder,

                                 Chair.

    At the request of Senator Snyder, unanimous consent being granted, the resolution (S. C. R. No. 42) contained in the preceding report from the Committee on Government Organization was taken up for immediate consideration.

    On motion of Senator Snyder, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules.

    Senator Snyder, from the Committee on Government Organization, submitted the following report, which was received:

    Your Committee on Government Organization has had under consideration

    Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 43 (originating in the Committee on Government Organization)--Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the feasibility of regional testing for examinations given by state agencies, boards, commissions and entities and Chapter 30 boards.

    Whereas, Most examinations given by state agencies, boards, commissions and entities and Chapter 30 boards are predominantly administered in Charleston; and

    Whereas, Having to travel to Charleston creates a hardship for the citizens of West Virginia due to the significant driving distance to the capital city; and

    Whereas, Providing for the administration of tests regionally and/or online may better serve the citizens of West Virginia; therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

    That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study the feasibility of regional testing for examinations given by state agencies, boards, commissions and entities and Chapter 30 boards; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2014, 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.
