Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr., Speaker of the House of Delegates
Honorable Members of the General Assembly
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am pleased to present you with The 90 Day Report - A Review of Legislation in the 2000 Session.
The 90 Day Report consists of two volumes. Volume I is divided into 13 parts, each dealing with a major policy area. Each part contains a discussion of the majority of bills passed in that policy area, including comparisons with previous sessions and current law, background information, and a discussion of significant bills that did not pass. Information relating to the Operating Budget, Capital Budget, and aid to local governments is found in Part A of this volume. Volume II, organized in the same manner as Volume I, consists of a list of all bills passed and a short synopsis stating the purpose of each bill.
As was the case last year, The 90 Day Report is being provided to you in loose-leaf format to make it easier to copy and use parts of the report. The binders provided last year were designed to hold the most recent edition of The 90 Day Report; please use the binder provided last year for this year's report. Should you also wish to have a bound version of the Report, please contact my office.
I hope that you will find The 90 Day Report as helpful this year as you have in the past. Further, the Department of Legislative Services will make available the Fact Book and Citizen's Tax Guide shortly. The Effects of the 2000 Legislative Program on the Financial Condition of the State will be issued after the Governor has taken final action on all bills.
Sincerely,
Karl S. Aro
Executive Director
