To create the Commission on Constitutional Revision to study and prepare
a report on revisions to the Constitution of Virginia.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, January 15, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, January 16, 1968

Whereas, the existing Constitution of Virginia has provided an excel-
lent framework of government under which the citizens of the Common-
wealth of Virginia have prospered ; and

Whereas, the last general revision of the Constitution of Virginia
occurred in 1928 and changing conditions now suggest that the Constitu-
tion of Virginia should be carefully reviewed with the view of amending
it in those particulars in which revision and amendment may be necessary
or desirable; and

Whereas, a general revision of the organic law of the Commonwealth
is a matter of such magnitude that it ought not to be undertaken without
extensive advance study of such amendments as may be desirable to pre-
serve the rights of the people, increase efficiency in government and pro-
mote the general welfare of the Commonwealth; and

Whereas, in 1926 the General Assembly of Virginia established a
commission to propose those amendments to the Constitution of Virginia
which comprised the general revision of 1928, thus providing firm histor-
ical precedent for the creation of such a body for this purpose; now, there-

ore, bei

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That there
is hereby created a Commission on Constitutional Revision, which Commis-
sion shall be appointed as hereinafter prescribed and shall have the powers
and duties hereinafter specified.

The Commission shall consist of eleven members who shall be ap-
pointed by the Governor from the State at large. The chairman of the
Commission shall be designated by the Governor. Any vacancy occurring
on the Commission shall be filled by the Governor in the same manner as
original appointments are made.

The Commission shall study the Constitution of Virginia and propose
such revision of the same as in its opinion will be for the best interests of
the Commonwealth. The Commission shall prepare and have printed its
report to the Governor and the General Assembly which shall point out in
detail every change or amendment suggested with amplified reasons for

e same.
The members of the Commission shall receive as compensation for
attending its sessions a per diem of twenty-five dollars and, in addition,
shall be paid their necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their
duties. The Commission may employ a director and such professional,
technical, legal or financial counsel as may be necessary to complete its
study, including such secretarial, clerical or other assistance as the Com-
mission may require.

The Commission may accept and expend gifts, grants, and donations
from any or all sources or persons for the purpose of carrying out its study,
including such appropriations as may be made to it by law.

All agencies of the State and the governing bodies and agencies of all
political subdivisions of the State shall cooperate with and assist the Com-
mission in its study.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, January 29, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968

Whereas, the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council made a study
and report to the Governor and the 1966 Regular Session of the General
Assembly on problems and needs with respect to highways and streets in
urban areas; and

Whereas, the General Assembly felt it was necessary to continue this
study in order to obtain more definite conclusions concerning needs for
urban highways and streets and the allocation and distribution of funds

erefor; an

_ Whereas, the Council has made a report to the General Assembly in
which it points out the necessity of approaching urban traffic problems on
a regional basis without regard to city, town or county boundaries; and

Whereas, it is felt that the Council’s urban highway study should be
continued in order to study further the regional concept for financing,
maintenance, construction and operation of urban highways; and

That the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is hereby directed to con-
tinue the study of problems and needs with respect to streets and highways
in urban areas with emphasis being placed on the regional concept for the
development and financing of such highways and the Highway Commis-
sion is urged to allocate such additional revenue to the Highway Right-of-
Way Fund in the next biennium as in its opinion will be sufficient to under-
take advance acquisition of right of way. The State Highway Department
and all other agencies of the State are hereby directed to assist the Council
iu this study. The Council shall conclude its study and make its report
containing its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the

of the services provided emotionally disturbed children by public and
private agencies in this State, and the costs or charges of such public and
private services; and the Council shall further inquire into such areas,
if any there be, between the various State agencies, wherein the State pro-
grams and services to emotionally disturbed children may be interrupted,
curtailed or omitted due to the questionable jurisdiction or the lack of
jurisdiction or authority of the State agencies administering such pro-
grams and services. The Council shall recommend any changes in such
programs and services and the laws relative thereto as shall appear neces-
sary to eliminate such areas of interrupted, curtailed or omitted services.

All agencies of the State shall assist the Council in its study. The

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 37

Directing the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council to study and report
on meee ee of recording instruments in the clerk’s office of courts
of record.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, February 5, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968

Whereas, the permanent recordation of deeds, wills and other instru-
ments in the clerk’s office of the several courts of record must either be

clerk’s office, the deeds, wills or instruments shall be reproduced on the
best quality photostat paper, all books to be substantially bound, with
extra canvas cover over all; and

Whereas, such recording has resulted in the accumulation of an
enormous number of record books that must be housed by the various
clerk’s offices ; and

Whereas, the housing of these record books has posed a problem to
the local governing bodies to construct adequate record rooms in the vari-
ous courthouses of the State; and

mae should not be undertaken without thorough study; now, there-
ore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the

Whereas, the General Assembly of Virginia, at its 1966 Regular Ses-
sion, established the Virginia State Crime Commission, which Commission
has submitted a report to the Governor and the General Assembly, in

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, February 15, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968

Whereas, the frequency and volume of thefts from retail merchants
by shoplifting is increasing steadily each year; and
Whereas, a 1967 Task Force Report to the President’s Commission
on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice revealed that the
yearly value of reported shoplifting in the United States is in the millions
of dollars and is growing steadily ; and

Whereas, studies conducted by Virginia merchants and their associa-
tions indicate that the shoplifting problem is acute in Virginia cities
and towns; and

Whereas, it is in the interest of the retail merchants and, ultimately,
the consuming public of the Commonwealth that this frequency and volume
of shoplifting and theft be abated ; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the
Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is hereby directed to make a study

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 58

Directing the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council to make a study and
report on matters relating to social work services, manpower and
education.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 9, 1968

Whereas, Virginia is today emerging as a more complex, urbanized
and industrialized Commonwealth, and in the process has developed new
and greater needs for facilitating social adjustment, prevention of social
unrest, ane providing opportunities for greater social well-being of its
citizens; an

Whereas, it is in the best interest of the Commonwealth that as many
of its citizenry as is possible be productive and useful both socially and
economically ; and

Whereas, the need for social work manpower in Virginia has increased
so rapidly in recent years that it has created a serious gap in the State’s
ability to meet the demand for services in prevention of social unrest,
treatment of the mentally ill, rehabilitation of the physically, mentally
and emotionally handicapped, and the strengthening of family life as the
prime stabilizing factor in our society ; and

Whereas, our Commonwealth ranks only forty-third in the nation
In its ratio of qualified social workers proportionate to its population
and has serious need for training, education and recruiting additional
social work personnel; and
Whereas, the number of qualified social workers presently graduated
from Richmond Professional Institute, the State’s only school of social
work, and remaining in the State after graduation, as well as those social
workers coming into the State to work, cannot come close to meeting
the demand of Virginia’s social service agencies now or in the future, and
additional facilities and programs for education, training and recruiting
of manpower must be planned and implemented ; and

Whereas, this demand must be met by strengthening existing edu-
cational facilities, expansion of these facilities and creation of new facil-
ities, on both an undergraduate and graduate level ; and

Whereas, the report of the Higher Education Study Commission of
1965 pointed out that there is a present crisis in social work, manpower
and educational training for this need in Virginia, and recommended that
the quality of the School at RPI be fully secured, followed by expansion
of the School and establishment of undergraduate and graduate programs
throughout the State, particularly in large urban areas; now, therefore,

it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the
Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is directed to make a study and
report upon the following matters:

(a) The extent that social impact of Virginia’s industrial, economic
and population growth has created a need for additional social work
services and manpower;

(b) The educational facilities and programs—both on the graduate
and undergraduate level—required to meet this need for social work
services and manpower;

(c) Specific recommendations for strengthening and expanding ex-
isting social work educational facilities and programs in the State;

(d) Specific recommendations to meet local area’s manpower gaps
through decentralization and localizing of educational facilities through-
out the ;

(e) <A study of economic and other resources available to develop
and improve social work services, manpower and education in Virginia;

(f) Recommendation of specific additional legislation required to
accomplish and implement the recommendations of the Council.

All agencies of the State shall assist the Council in its study. The
Council shall conclude its study and make its report to the Governor and
see General Assembly not later than November one, nineteen hundred
sixty-nine.

Whereas, student costs and student financial aid are related to college
attendance; and

Whereas, student costs in Virginia’s four-year State colleges and
universities are higher than those of many other states in the South and
nation; an

Whereas, the growing variety and complexity of student financial aid
programs for higher education make a comprehensive analysis of the types,
patina, utilization, and adequacy of these programs desirable; now, there-

ore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the
State-supported institutions of higher education endeavor to keep student
charges at reasonable levels so that qualified and deserving individuals are
not deterred by high costs from pursuing higher educational opportunities
to the limit of their talents and abilities ; and be it further

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the
State Council of Higher Education is directed to conduct during the 1968-
70 biennium a comprehensive study of student financial aid programs
for higher education in Virginia. In addition to such other information
a pe aun may collect on this subject, it shall study and report on the

ollowing:

__ (1) The types and sources of funding of existing student financial
aid programs in Virginia ;

(2) The adequacy of such programs; and

_ (3) The appropriateness of present policies, procedures, and prac-
tices of student financial aid programs, with respect to both current and
projected enrollments in Virginia’s colleges and universities.

The Council shall seek the advice of the State-supported institutions
of higher education and of other appropriate institutions or agencies as
may be helpful in the study; all agencies of the State, educational and
otherwise, shall cooperate with the Council in its work. Representatives

Whereas, recreational fishermen assert that certain activities Involved

in the taking of menhaden fish for commercial purposes are detrimental
to and severely interfere with sport fishing; and
Whereas, the ever-increasing use of the tidal waters of the State by
recreational fishermen multiplies the frequency of such assertions and the
consequent demands that such taking of menhaden fish be prohibited in
certain areas of the tidal waters; and

Whereas, a long-standing conflict exists between recreational fisher-
a“ and menhaden fishermen on account of such assertions and demands;
an

Agreed to by the Senate, March 6, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968

Whereas, the election laws of the State of Virginia, and Title 24 of
the Code of Virginia specifically, have not been given thorough study and
careful review since long before recent statutory and case law develop-
ments affecting numerous changes therein; and

Whereas, both constitutional changes involving such questions as the
poll tax as a qualification for voting and reapportionment, and State
statutory amendments involving procedures for conducting elections have
ee in numerous direct and indirect alterations in the election laws;
an

Whereas, a complete, exhaustive study should be made in the interest
of simplifying the machinery of elections and providing adequate and
workable safeguards to insure honest and fair elections; and

Whereas, the time is imminent for a careful review and reconsidera-
tion of the State’s election laws to consider the impact of the above-men-
tioned changes and the reorganization and simplification of such laws,

Supply.
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, February 16, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968

Whereas, in 1920 the State of Virginia initiated a system of cen-
tralized purchasing for the benefit of State boards, institutions and agen-
cies and in 1924 expanded the system to permit political subdivisons
to Seek the assistance of the Purchasing Agent in purchasing supplies;
an

Whereas, the purpose of the centralized purchasing agency was to
permit such State boards, institutions and agencies and political subdi-
visions to place orders through one central office in order to take advan-
tage of the lower prices that can be obtained through volume purchases;
an

Whereas, from 1920 through 1957, the central purchasing agency
fulfilled its original purpose by taking competitive bids on orders placed
by the prospective purchasers and awarding contracts to low bidders for
delivery of goods directly to the purchaser ; and

Whereas, the original purpose of the centralized purchasing office was
expanded when the law was amended in 1958 to permit the Director
to negotiate bids instead of taking competitive bids and further expanded
in 1960 when the Department of Purchases and Supply was authorized
to establish a central warehouse, capitalized with State funds; and

Whereas, since 1960, the Department of Purchases and Supply has
purchased delivery vehicles, printed catalogues, employed salesmen and
become a large-scale wholesaler of hundreds of items of merchandise; and

Whereas, the General Assembly in 1964 again amended the law to
permit the Department of Purchases and Supply to sell and deliver its
merchandise from the central warehouse directly to political subdivisions
throughout the State; and

Whereas, historically, the Commonwealth has opposed the principle
of government competition in areas served by private business and indi-
viduals ; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate of Virginia concurring,
That the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is hereby directed to make
a study of, and report on, the operation of the Department of Purchases
and Supply. Such study ‘shall include, but not be limited to, the effect
of the Department’s present system of operation upon private business
and the economy of the State and its political subdivisions, the cost of its
operation to the State, and the practices of other states with respect to
centralized purchasing.

All agencies of the State shall assist the Council in its study. The
Council shall conclude its study and make its report containing its findings
and recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly not later
than November one, nineteen hundred sixty-nine.

Resolved further, That pending the report of the Council, the
operations of the Department of Purchases and Supply should not be
expanded beyond their present scope.

Agreed to by the Senate, March 9, 1968

Whereas, the Virginia Cultural Development Commission in making
its survey of the arts and reporting to the Governor and the 1968 General
Assembly, stated that the appropriation request for public libraries in the
State is insufficient; and

Whereas, such request, however, is the maximum amount allowable
under existing law; and

Development Committee of the Virginia Library Association is excellent
and calls for the expansion of existing library facilities; and

Whereas, because of Virginia’s increasing population growth, the
demand for libraries is steadily increasing; and

Whereas, there are many areas of the State that are not adequately
served by existing public libraries; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That
the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is hereby directed to make a

Directing the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council to study and report
on the proposed Potomac River Basin Compact.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 9, 1968

Whereas, the Potomac River Basin has experienced many years of
drought which severely damaged the productivity of agriculture and
drastically reduced the flow of the river which threatened the water
supplies throughout the basin and particularly in the Washington Metro-
politan Area at the time of greatest demand; and

Whereas, the population of the Potomac River Basin and the indus-
trial and commercial development therein have greatly expanded during
the last decade, and are continuing to expand, increasing the demands
for water supply and the potential for loss through floods; and

Whereas, at the direction of the Congress of the United States, the
Corps of Engineers of the Department of the Army in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Com-
merce, and other federal agencies as well as agencies of the District of
Columbia and the States of the Potomac River Basin and numerous local
agencies and organizations, has made a comprehensive survey and report
concerning the water and related resources of the Potomac River Basin
which revealed the urgent need for measures to control the flow of the
Potomac River and its tributaries in order to assure an adequate water
supply and flood protection, to reduce sedimentation and otherwise im-
prove the quality of the waters, to provide water related recreational
facilities, to enhance the preservation and propagation of fish and wild-
life, and to promote related forestry, agriculture, soil conservation and
watershed projects; and

Whereas, many state and federal agencies have an interest in or re-
sponsibility for one or more aspects of the water resources of the Potomac
River Basin, but none has the legal authority to provide the broad, perma-
nent guidance and control or the development of regional scope found nec-
-ssary for the most effective utilization of these resources; and

_ , Whereas, in 1965, the Governors of the Basin States—Maryland, Vir-
sinia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the Commissioners of the District
f Columbia, created the Potomac River Basin Advisory Committee to
‘ecommend to the Governors and the Commissioners of the District of
olumbia an appropriate permanent regional organization to provide the
suidance and control which is needed to preserve and develop the Potomac
tiver Basin to its optimum use; and

| Whereas, the Potomac River Basin Advisory Committee prepared a
raft of an interstate-federal compact calling for the creation of a basin
agency to discharge the joint responsibilities of the United States, th
States in the Potomac River Basin and the District of Columbia wit)
respect to the conservation, utilization, development, management ans
como! of the water and related resources of the Potomac River Basin
an

Whereas, the Commonwealth of Virginia should not adopt and become
a party to the proposed compact until it has been carefully studied anc
reviewed; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the
Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is hereby directed to make a study
of the proposed Potomac River Basin Compact and report upon the advis-
ability of the Commonwealth of Virginia adopting and becoming a party to
such Compact.

The Council shall conclude its study and make its report to the Gov-
ernor and the General Assembly not later than July one, nineteen hundred
sixty-nine.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 9, 1968

Whereas, in certain areas of crime, namely, crimes of extreme vio-
lence and crimes of a sexual nature, the question of the mental capacity
of persons committing such crimes appears to be paramount; and

Whereas, while the penalties presently existing upon the statute
books of the Commonwealth appear to be generally fair and reasonable,
little or no attention is paid to the underlying psychiatric motivations of
the persons committing such crimes, so that such persons might be re-
habilitated; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That
the Virginia State Crime Commission, created by House Joint Resolution
No. 113, 1966, and continued by House Joint Resolution No. 48, 1968, is

wealth. The Commission is directed to complete its study and report to the
Governor and the General Assembly not later than November one, nineteen
hundred sixty-nine.

Whereas, significant changes in the methods and practices of the con-
struction and building industry have occurred since the enactment of
existing laws pertaining to the perfection of liens by persons performing

tion No. 2, enacted in the 1966 Regular Session of the General Assembly,
that the study be broadened to include a review of all laws pertaining to
the registration and licensing of contractors; now, therefore, be it

property owners, and lending institutions are concerned, and to give further
consideration and study to the general subject of the laws affecting and
applicable to the registration and licensing of contractors in this State.

Whereas, the southern branch of the Elizabeth River is a vital artery
of waterborne commerce and important, not only to the Hampton Roads

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 148
Directing the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council to study the desirabil-
ity of revising the State’s laws relating to abortion.
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 9, 1968

Whereas, the laws relating to abortion have recently been subject to
extensive scrutiny and criticism throughout the country, both generally
and with particular regard to the serious and tragic problems attending
births in cases involving German Measles and the use of drugs by the
mother prior to birth ; and

Whereas, the laws of Virginia do not take into account such particular

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 156

Directing the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council to study matters
relating to waste materials and their proper disposal.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 9, 1968

Whereas, the improper disposal of solid wastes, including abandoned
automobiles, creates problems which threaten the health and welfare of
the citizens, destroys the beauty of the cities, towns and countryside;
and contributes to the pollution of the water and air; and the State of
Virginia is producing annually many tons of solid wastes (refuse) from the
homes, institutions, commercial establishments, farms, and industries
within the State; and at the present rate of growth of the State and the
anticipated increase in individual production of refuse, the amount of solid
wastes to be disposed of will greatly increase in the years to come; and

Whereas, littering of the highways with bottles, cans, and other waste
materials creates both an aesthetic and a financial problem, and some
meen should be devised to bring home these facts to the traveling public;
an

Whereas, the disposal of waste petroleum products without contami-
peyon ot pax streams and rivers is a further problem of increasing magni-
ude; an

Whereas, the disposal of wastes in most communities of the State
at the present time is not being performed in a sanitary manner, most
communities within the State coping with the problem on a day-to-day
basis with no definite plans towards its long-range implications, many
communities in the State being unwilling or financially unable to dispose
of refuse in a sanitary manner, and in some there appearing to be a
reluctance to assume responsibility in this matter, and unless vigorous

early action is taken to dispose of wastes in an efficient, sanitary, and

orderly manner, the enormity of the quantity of materials to be disposed

of in the future will create serious health and aesthetic problems which

idee be not only intolerable, but perhaps insurmountable; now, therefore,
e it

Resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That
the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is directed to make a study
and report on all phases of the refuse disposal problem in Virginia. The
Council shall endeavor to ascertain the magnitude and acuteness of the
problem, study methods presently being used, explore several avenues
of approach toward solving the problem, indicate where responsibilities
lie, study the need for legislation and possible financial assistance, and
make such recommendations as it deems appropriate to the health, safety,
and welfare of the inhabitants of Virginia.

The Council shall conclude its study and make its report to the
Governor and the General Assembly not later than October one, nineteen
hundred sixty-nine. All agencies of the State shall assist the Council in
its study when requested.

Agreed to by the Senate, March 9, 1968

Whereas, a number of Virginia’s rivers, streams, runs and waterways,
including their shores and immediate environs, possess great natural and
pastoral beauty, and should be preserved in their natural condition in order
to assure continued public enjoyment of their scenic, recreational, geo-
logical, fish and wildlife, historic and other values; and

Whereas, the increase in population of inhabited areas and industrial
developments in many parts of Virginia may impair or threaten the great
natural and pastoral beauty of certain of the Commonwealth’s scenic rivers

lowest feasible amount; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates of Virginia, the Senate con-
curring, That the Department of Purchases and Supply is directed to make

deed of trust to secure debts, for the purpose of determining whether these
sections should be amended to delete the requirement for and references to
a seal, except in the case of a corporation. In connection with this matter
it is requested that consideration be given to House Bills numbered 768
through 773 of the 1968 Regular Session.
(5) Life insurance trusts, for the purpose of determining whether
a section should be added in Article 1 of Chapter 9 of Title 38.1 of the
Code of Virginia to provide that written designation of a trustee as bene-
ficiary of a life insurance policy shall not be invalid because such trustee
may be appointed by the will of the insured or any other person then liv-
ing, or because the designation of such beneficiary may be conditional
upon the existence of a valid will of any person at the death of the testator.
In connection with this matter it is requested that House Bill No. 775 of
the 1968 Regular Session be considered.

(6) Implied warranties, for the purpose of determining whether a
section should be added in Part 3 of Title 8.2 of the Code of Virginia to
provide that it shall be deemed that any new goods sold in the State are
warranted to be fit for the purpose for which they are sold, and that no
seller shall exclude such warranty either orally or in writing. In connec-
tion with this matter it is requested that Senate Bill No. 392 of the 1968
Regular Session, as amended and passed by the Senate, be considered.

(7) Whether certain nonprofit corporations or associations ren-
dering advice or other services without compensation to persons in con-
nection with debt pooling plans, whereby such persons deposit certain
funds for distribution among their creditors should be exempted from
the provisions of § 54-44.1 of the Code of Virginia which makes the
furnishing of such advice or services the unauthorized practice of law,
punished as a misdemeanor.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 2

Directing the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council to study the desir-
ability of licensing water and sewage plant operators.

Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968

Whereas, the population of the Commonwealth is increasing at a
rapid rate; and

Whereas, the need for better control of water supply and sewage
treatment to protect the health and welfare of the citizens of the Common-
wealth becomes more necessary ; and

Whereas, in order to accomplish the desired objectives, it is essential
that properly qualified personnel be in charge of operating water supply
and sewage treatment plants throughout the Commonwealth; and

Whereas, a study should be made of these problems, with a view
toward the licensing of personnel engaged in such work; now, therefore,
e it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring,
That the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is directed to study the
desirability of the licensing of personnel who operate water supply and
sewage treatment plants. The Council shall give attention to, but not be
limited by, the following:

_ 1. Minimum level of education required prior to examination as a
licensed operator.
2. Minimum experience, if any, required prior to examination as a
licensed operator.

3. Type of licenses with reference to degree of knowledge, skill,
experience, judgment and moral character for various size or type of
plants.

4. What limitations, if any, should be placed on amount of experi-
ence prior to issuance of any license or advancement from one grade to
another.

5. Determination of what government agency should police the issu-
ance of licenses and what agency would check on competence and perform-
ance after licensing.

6. Determination of administrative procedures, scope of examina-
tions and other items that must be determined for method of examining
similar to examinations now being given for other licenses.

All appropriate agencies of the State shall assist the Council in its
study, by request. The Council shall complete its study and make its
report to the Governor and the General Assembly not later than November
one, nineteen hundred sixty-nine.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 5
Creating the Virginia Court System Study Commission.

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the Senate, March 8, 1968

Whereas, although the Constitution of Virginia permits the General
Assembly to establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia, that Court has since the adoption of the Constitution been
the sole appellate court of the State but the growth in population of the
State and the increasing volume of litigation in courts at all levels makes
the time propitious to consider the appellate court system of the State and
the feasibility and desirability of an intermediate level appellate court;
an

Whereas, the business of all courts of record of the Commonwealth
has increased steadily in recent years so that nearly seventy-five thousand
cases were pending before such courts at the end of nineteen hundred sixty-
seven and a growing number of post-conviction appeals generated, in
part, by recent United States Supreme Court decisions, in addition to
the increase in other litigation in such courts has imposed a severe strain
on the structure and operation of the courts and it is desirable that con-
sideration be given to means whereby justice may be administered more
effectively and swiftly in the State; and

Whereas, the courts not of record of the Commonwealth, generally,
which give many of our citizens their sole impression of the workings
of our judicial system, have an increasingly vital role to play in the
administration of justice and must function effectively so that they can
relieve the burden of the courts of record and consideration should be
given especially to whether the use in numerous jurisdictions of part-
time judges and attorneys for the Commonwealth is in the best interests
of efficient administration of justice; and

Whereas, decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States con-
cerning rights of juvenile offenders may have far reaching impact on
criminal cases involving such offenders and the laws relating to juvenile
courts in Virginia need careful review in light of these decisions and others
which may be rendered in the future; and

Whereas, the apparent increase in both petty and serious crime in
Virginia is placing an increasingly heavy burden upon the Commonwealth’s
attorneys throughout the State, the efficient functioning of whose offices
is an integral part of the administration of justice, and consideration
should be given to the question of whether the part-time service which
is of necessity rendered by Commonwealth’s attorneys in some areas is
adequate for proper prosecution of criminals; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring,
That there is hereby created the Virginia Court System Study Commis-
sion, which shall consist of fifteen members, five of whom shall be appointed
by the Governor from the public at large, five of whom shall be appointed
by the President of the Senate from the membership thereof, and five of
whom shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates from
the membership thereof. The Governor shall designate the Chairman of
the Commission.

The Commission shall make a full and complete study of the entire
judicial system of the Commonwealth including, without limitation, the
matters set forth above.

Members of the Commission shall be reimbursed for all necessary
expenses incurred in the performance of their duties, but shall receive
no other compensation.

The Commission may employ legal and other consultants and such
clerical and other assistance as may be required for the conduct of its
study and in the preparation of its reports. For the expenses of the Com-
mission and the conduct of its study in the coming biennium, there is hereby
appropriated from the contingent fund of the General Assembly, a sum
sufficient, estimated at forty thousand dollars.

The Commission may make such interim reports as it deems advisable
and shall conclude its study and submit its final report and recommenda-
tions to the Governor and the General Assembly not later than November
one, nineteen hundred sixty-nine.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 12

Requesting the State Department of Highways and the State Police to
study the problem of providing adequate emergency communications
for Virginia’s limited access highways.
Agreed to by the Senate, February 26, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 5, 1968

Whereas, the distances between exits are often great and the rights-
of-way are usually fenced on our Interstate and other limited access
highways, it is most necessary on these roads to provide a system of
emergency communications for stranded motorists and for the purpose
of summoning aid to the scene of an accident; and

Whereas, any system which provides emergency telephones or call
boxes at frequent enough intervals to be effective assistance to such mo-
torists involves considerable expenditures, and thus warrants careful in-
vestigation of the types of communications systems available, the costs
thereof and the means to finance this project ; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concur-
ring, That the State Department of Highways and the State Police be,
and hereby are, requested to investigate the means to establish a system
of emergency communications on our Interstate and limited access high-
ways and to report the results of their study and recommendations to the
ie teat and the General Assembly by January one, nineteen hundred
sixty-nine.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO, 15

Creating a commission to study the sources of revenue which are available
to the State, to provide for its composition and to prescribe its powers
a uties.

Agreed to by the Senate, February 26, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 8, 1968

Whereas, Virginia is presently involved in an expanding economy
which affects every facet of her social, cultural and educational composi-
ion; an

Whereas, there has been launched under the leadership of Governor
Mills E. Godwin, Jr., a great program of advancement and progress in
almost every sphere of human endeavor, including particularly, public
education, higher learning, mental health and mental institutions, parks
and recreation, highways and industrialization ; and

Whereas, urban growth has been rapidly accelerated in various sec-
tions of the Commonwealth requiring increased demands for services to an
ever-growing population ; and

Whereas, the need for continued State expenditures, including a con-
tinuation of our prodigious program for capital improvements as well
as the ordinary and regular costs of operations, presents a special and
urgent governmental problem in which increased demands are constantly
exceeding anticipated and foreseeable sources of revenue; and

Whereas, it is necessary in the public interest and essential to the
continued growth and prosperity of Virginia that present sources of
revenue as well as new and additional sources be studied, examined and
explored, that ways and means be developed to produce adequate funds to
meet the ever-expanding and growing requirements of the Commonwealth,
and foster the continued constructive growth and efficient administration
thereof ; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That a
commission is hereby created to be known as the Revenue Resources and
Economic Study Commission, which shall consist of fifteen members, of
whom four shall be appointed by the President of the Senate, four
shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates, and seven
shall be appointed by the Governor. Insofar as practicable, all segments
of the economy and all interests concerned shall be afforded representation
upon the Commission.

The Commission shall make a study and report upon the following
matters:

(a) The present system of taxation and the various sources and
areas of existing revenues.

(b) Whether or not these sources are adequate under present rates
or require revision upward or downward.

(c) To explore additional and new potential sources of revenue.

(d) To examine all existing taxes and potential taxes with the
determination of achieving the committed objectives of State Government
in a manner designed to prevent undue burdens upon our taxpaying
citizens.

(e) To develop solutions to the increasing revenue problems of
Virginia in a manner so as to encourage the business, economic and
industrial expansion of the State.

(f) To generally review, study and explore the continuing need for
increased State expenditures that the orderly progress and growth of the
Commonwealth may be furthered, and productive governmental responses
to the needs and interests of all inhabitants of Virginia may be facilitated.

(zg) To canvass the experience of other states of the United States
and examine all relevant provisions of their law, as well as Virginia law
to determine whether or not existing laws are adequate to meet present
and future needs and make such recommendations for modification or
change as may be requisite.

(zg) (a) To study the present system of assessment of public service
corporation property ; to consider whether or not this should be a function
of the Department of Taxation; and whether public service corporation
easements should be subject to taxation as an interest in real estate.

(h) To report on any related matters which the Commission deems
appropriate, including particularly the sales, use and titling tax laws
of the Commonwealth.

The Commission is also directed to make a study and report on the
returns to the localities of moneys derived from the Virginia Retail Sales
and Use Tax to determine the equity of such distribution.

The members of the Commission shall receive no compensation for
their services, but shall be paid their necessary expenses incurred in the
performance of their duties. The Commission may employ such secre-
tarial, technical, clerical, professional and other assistance as may be
required.

For the purpose of carrying out its study, the sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars is hereby appropriated from the contingent fund of the
General Assembly.

All agencies of the State and the governing bodies of all political
subdivisions of the State shall cooperate with and assist the Commission

upon request.
The Commission shall conclude its study and make its report to the
Governor and the General Assembly not later than September one, nineteen
hundred sixty-nine,

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 18

Requesting the State Department of Education to investigate the posst-
bility of developing improved programs for the education of the deaf
in connection with the public schools and other non-residential factl-
aties.

Agreed to by the Senate, February 9, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968

Whereas, the Commonwealth of Virginia provides excellent education
for deaf and hard-of-hearing children at the residential schools at Staun-
ton and at Hampton, but the capacities of these institutions are limited
and the programs do not meet the needs of all children suffering from
these handicapping conditions; and

Whereas, experiments which have been conducted by various groups
interested in the field of education of the deaf indicate the possibility that
wider use of local facilities for the training of children with hearing 1m-
pairment, through the public schools and treatment centers, could be of
great benefit both to children, such as those of pre-school age, who cannot
attend the residential schools, and to the parents of children afflicted
with these handicaps; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concur-
ring, That the State Department of Education is requested to initiate a
study of the possibility of developing, in connection with the public schools
or through special education facilities or otherwise, programs for oral
education or such other training as appears appropriate for the deaf,
and children with hearing impairment in local non-residential facilities ;
and if it is found feasible to develop such programs, the Department is
further requested to make recommendations to the General Assembly for
the implementation of such programs.

Creating a commission to study the Legislative Process in Virginia and
to make recommendations for its improvement.

Agreed to by the Senate, February 7, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 4, 1968

Whereas, it is a matter of great concern that, under the existing
legislative process, the members of the General Assembly no longer have
the time, information or facilities to consider the vastly increased volume
and complexity of subjects of legislation in the efficient and effective man-
ner which the people of Virginia have a right to expect and demand; and
Whereas, other states are already seeking solutions, with near]
four-fifths of them having undertaken studies of some or all phases o
the legislative process in the last two years; and

Whereas, it is imperative that mature consideration first be give
before changes are undertaken in the legislative process in Virginia, an
that the experience of other states be studied to obtain the benefit of thei:
experience; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring
That a commission is hereby created to be known as the Commission on the
Legislative Process. The Commission shall be composed of eleven members,
appointed as follows: The President of the Senate and three persons ap-
pointed by him, at least two of whom shall be from the membership of the
Senate; and the Speaker of the House and six persons appointed by him,
at least five of whom shall be from the membership of the House. The
members so appointed shall elect, from their number a chairman and a
vice-chairman. The Commission shall make a study of the legislative
process in Virginia and shall make recommendations for its improvement.
Such study shall include, without limitation, such matters as: (1) facilities
and space for the performance of legislative functions; (2) compensation
of the members of the General Assembly; (3) staff assistants to members
of the General Assembly and to the committee of each house thereof; and
(4) staffing of legislative service agencies; provided, however, the Commis-
sion shall not study any subjects which would require amendment of the
Constitution of Virginia unless requested to do so by the Commission on
Constitutional Revision. The Commission is directed to make a compre-
hensive analysis of the legislative processes in the other states and to in-
clude an evaluation thereof in its report. Members of the Commission shall
receive the compensation provided by law for members of legislative com-
missions and, in addition, the Commission is hereby authorized to expend
a sum sufficient, estimated at twenty-five thousand dollars, from the con-
tingent fund of the General Assembly to defray any cost of conducting
the study, which cost shall include the employment of such personnel as
it deems desirable. The Commission shall complete its study and make a
report containing its findings and recommendations to the members of the
General Assembly not later than November fifteen, nineteen hundred sixty-
nine. All agencies of the State shall cooperate with and assist the Commis-
sion in its study. The Director of the Division of Statutory Research and

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 21

Creating the Virginia Metropolitan Areas Transportation Study Commis-
sion.

Agreed to by the Senate, February 26, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 5, 1968

Whereas, the General Assembly, declaring that the orderly growtl
and development of the urban areas of the Commonwealth require th
development of transportation systems composed of transit facilities
public highways and other modes of transport, enacted the Transport
ton District Act of 1964 authorizing the creation of transit districts ;
an

Whereas, the welfare of the Commonwealth is and increasingly will
be affected by the present and future concentration of population, industry
and commerce in the urban areas of the Commonwealth and, accordingly,
the orderly growth and development of the urban areas are of general
concern to the entire Commonwealth; and

Whereas, there is a functional interrelationship and interdependence
between public highways to move vehicles and transit facilities to move
people; and

Whereas, the providing of public highways and transit facilities and
service involve large expenditures of public funds, and the economical
utilization of public funds requires the achievement of a modal balance
in the urban transportation systems; and

Whereas, the entire Commonwealth as well as the counties and cities
located in urban areas are concerned with or affected by the large ex-
penditures of public funds for the development of urban transportation
systems; now, therefore, be it

ring, That there is hereby created a Virginia Metropolitan Areas Trans-
portation Study Commission which shall consist of eleven members, two
of whom are to be appointed by the President of the Senate from among

and six of whom are to be appointed by the Governor from the State
at large. In addition, the State Highway Commissioner and the Director
of the Division of State Planning shall be members of the Commission

ex-officio.

The Commission shall make a comprehensive study of methods for
financing the transit portion of urban transportation systems, revenue
sources appropriate for financing such facilities, suitable organizational
structures for carrying out transit projects in urban areas and the role
of the Commonwealth in such matters. The Commission shall examine
relevant provisions of the Virginia law to determine whether existing
laws are adequate to meet the present and future needs for urban areas
for transit facilities and shall recommend such changes in existing laws
as it shall deem appropriate.

The members of the Commission shall be paid any necessary expenses
incurred in the performance of their duties but shall receive no other
compensation. All agencies of the Commonwealth and the governing

Agreed to by the Senate, February 23, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 8, 1968

Whereas, the rapidly expanding activities and business of the Com-
monwealth and political subdivisions serve to emphasize the need for
qualified public servants whose conduct will at all times withstand public
scrutiny ; and

Whereas, standards of proper conduct involve, among others, such
complex matters as conflict of interests in contracts to which the Com-
monwealth or political subdivisions are parties, professional representa-
tion of private parties and clients before Commonwealth agencies or the
representation of private interests or the Commonwealth in adversary
proceedings by officers and employees of government, the holding of more
than one governmental office, and financial interests in activities concern-
ing the Commonwealth or political subdivisions; and

Whereas, in the interest of good government thorough study and
consideration of such matters should be undertaken; now, therefore, be it

Agreed to by the Senate, February 14, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968

Whereas, Dulles International Airport, located in Fairfax and
Loudoun Counties in Northern Virginia, is potentially a great economic
asset to the Commonwealth and to the Northern Virginia area; and

Whereas, since the State will derive vast economic benefits from the
realization of the development of Dulles International Airport to its fullest
potential, it is incumbent upon the Commonwealth to provide leadership
to function in harmony and cooperation with organizations in Northern
Virginia, to promote and encourage the utilization and development of
economic potential at Dulles International Airport; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That a
commission to be known as the Dulles International Airport Development
Commission is hereby created for the purpose of providing the delegation
of the Commonwealth to the Congress with an agency which would develop
for their use all information relative to and bearing upon the promotion
of Dulles International Airport, and to represent the interests of Dulles
International Airport as they may arise in the Civil Aeronautics Board.

The Commission shall be composed of fifteen members to be selected
by the Governor from the State at large. The members of the Commission

Directing the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council to continue its study
concerning commissioners of accounts and fiduciaries.

Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968

Whereas, the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council made a study
and report upon the laws relating to personal representatives of deceased
persons and other fiduciaries and commissioners of accounts; and

Whereas, because of time limitations and the complexity of the mat-
ters involved in the study, the Council had to confine its study to commis-
sioners of accounts and their relationships with fiduciaries; and

Whereas, the Council was unable to give full attention to other essen-
tial and related matters; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring,
That the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is hereby directed to con-

Requesting the State Department of Education to gather information
regarding methods and costs of furnishing textbooks in the public
schools.

Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968

Whereas, the State currently appropriates only limited funds for dis-
tribution to the localities for textbook purposes and textbooks may be
furnished by localities either free of cost to students or through a rental
system so that there is a lack of uniformity throughout the State in the
furnishing of textbooks to students in the public schools; and

Whereas, proposals have been put forward to have the State assume
the full cost of furnishing adopted textbooks free of charge to all our
students, but the costs of such a step to the State remain undetermined;
now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates con-
curring, That the General Assembly requests that the State Department of

eral Assembly: first, how each school district presently furnishes textbooks,
whether free of cost or on a rental basis; second, present costs to the
respective localities and the State; third, the complete costs to the State of
assuming financial responsibility for furnishing approved textbooks free
of cost to all students in the public schools, kindergarten through grade

Agreed to by the Senate, March 4, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 1968

Whereas, the rapidly increasing population of the State has created
problems in certain compacted areas; and

Whereas, in order to take care of the population growth in these
areas, planning through zoning ordinances is becoming increasingly im-
portant; and

Whereas, in certain areas geographically compacted and crowded
with persons, long-range future plans for zoning are necessary; now,
therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates con-
curring, That the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is directed to
study the zoning procedures in the large urbanized counties and cities
of the State with a view to devising a system whereby land use regula-
tions may be adopted pertaining to the use and development of land,
including subdivision control regulations and zoning regulations, but
excluding building, plumbing, sanitary and electrical codes. All agencies

Creating a commission to study the problem of the expansion of the
boundaries of the city of Richmond.

Agreed to by the Senate, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 9, 1968

Whereas, serious questions have arisen concerning the expansion of
the boundaries of the city of Richmond; and

Whereas, the future of the capital city should be of vital interest to
every citizen of this Commonwealth, and a study should be made of the
problem; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring,
That a commission is hereby created to study the problem of expanding
the boundaries of the city of Richmond. The commission shall be com-

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 74

Requesting the State Highway Commission, the Division of Industrial
Development and the Department of State Police to study and
reconsider certain rules and regulations applicable to the movement
of mobilhome housing over the highways of the State.

Agreed to by the Senate, March 7, 1968
Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 9, 1968

Whereas, the Commonwealth of Virginia is committed to a policy
of seeking new industry for the State in order to strengthen the econ-
omy and create jobs for our people; and

Whereas, a readily available supply of low-cost housing would
materially assist the efforts now being made to secure new industry
for the State; and

Whereas, the State is likewise concerned over the need for low-
cost housing in the rural areas of the Commonwealth; and

Whereas, the mobilhome industry in 1967 supplied over fifty per-
cent of the housing in the United States costing less than twelve thou-
sand five hundred dollars, and is in a peculiar position to meet the
demands for low-cost housing in an expeditious manner, provided the
transportation and movement of such housing to points of delivery can
be facilitated ; and

Whereas, the General Assembly of Virginia is concerned with high-
way safety, but is likewise concerned with having an available supply
of low-cost housing for our rural areas and as an adjunct to the secur-
ing of new industry for the State; and
Whereas, the difficulty, and often impossibility, of moving this type
of housing over the highways of the State renders an otherwise plenti-
ful supply unavailable to the public, has caused and will cause incon-
ee te the public, and a loss to the State’s economy, unless cor-
rected; an

Whereas, it is the sense of the General Assembly of Virginia that
every practical effort should be made to work out rules and regulations
whereby this type of housing can be made readily available to the peo-
ple of Virginia without unduly interfering with the orderly flow of
traffic or of adding to the hazards of the roads; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring,
