More detail
All state agencies must help the committee when it requests assistance. This includes the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and the Department of the Treasury. The duty applies when the committee requests assistance.
The committee must recommend yearly updates to the six-year capital plan and project funding. Recommendations go to the Governor and the chairs of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance and Appropriations committees. Beginning in 2011, recommendations are due by November 1 each year and cover the six fiscal years starting July 1 of the following year.
The committee must send leaders a ranked list of capital projects. The committee ranks projects within each agency and describes each project's scope and nature. The list covers new and previously planned or authorized projects funded in whole or part from general fund-supported resources. The text sets an initial November 1, 2008 submission date for a plan covering six fiscal years beginning July 1, 2009.
