A JOINT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH COMMISSION TO STUDY WAYS TO FACILITATE GREATER COOPERATION BETWEEN THE PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT SECTORS AND TO FOSTER THE GROWTH OF THE NONPROFIT SECTOR.
Whereas, the House Select Committee on Nonprofits was authorized to study issues relating to the facilitation of greater cooperation between the public and nonprofit sectors and the fostering of growth of the nonprofit sector; and
Whereas, the Committee will report its findings and recommendations to the 1996 Regular Session of the 1995 General Assembly; and
Whereas, the Committee has found the issues involved in this matter to be so important as to merit additional study by the Legislative Research Commission;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
Section 1.  The Legislative Research Commission is authorized to study ways to facilitate greater cooperation between the public and nonprofit sectors and to foster the growth of the nonprofit sector.  The study should include an analysis of the procedures currently used to contract between State agencies and nonprofit organizations for the delivery of public services through the nonprofit sector and any problems associated with those procedures.  The study should also give consideration to the need for the creation of an independent commission to facilitate communications between the public and nonprofit sectors.
Sec. 2.  The Commission may report its findings and recommendations to the 1997 General Assembly.
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
