RD205 - Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission 2013 Report to the General Assembly


Executive Summary:
Members of the Virginia General Assembly

Dear Colleagues:

In its biennial Report to the General Assembly, JLARC briefly reviews the key findings of its studies and recaps the significant actions taken in response to JLARC recommendations. The Report offers an evaluation of JLARC’s own agency performance and describes ongoing oversight and other services provided to the General Assembly.

Recent JLARC studies have had impact on a broad range of public policy areas in Virginia, including State pensions, health care, education, conservation, and criminal justice.

As you will see on page 1, about $1.4 million in savings accrued to the Commonwealth over FY 2012 and FY 2013 from implementing recommendations made by JLARC in 2010 and 2011.

I would like to thank all the members of the Virginia General Assembly for your support of JLARC’s vital work for the Commonwealth.

Cordially,

John M. O’Bannon III
Chair
