The Commission on State Governmental Management recommended the creation of the Dept. of General Services to be comprised of the then existing Dept. of Purchases and Supplies, Division of Engineering and Buildings, Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, Dept. of Property Records and Insurance, and several other state agencies functions which were subsequently determined by appropriate authorities to be left outside of the organization of this department.\n","In 1976, the General Assembly passed H.B. 1240 which called for the establishment of the position of a director of the department and required the appointee to prepare a plan for the organization of this department with implementing legislation. This was accomplished and the 1977 session of the General Assembly enacted Chapter 672 which created the Dept. of General Services. Consistent with this statute, the department was officially implemented on July 1, 1978. This brought together, under the umbrella of the major department, the Dept. of Purchases and Supply, the Division of Engineering, the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, and the Dept. of Property Records and Insurance, now called Office of Risk Management. Also included under the umbrella of the authority of the Dept. of General Services are several boards, appeal boards and review councils which are: Consolidated Laboratory Services Advisory Board; Purchase and Supply Appeal Board; Art and Architectural Review and Council and the State Insurance Advisory Board.\n","Major activities of the department are to maintain and operate facilities at the seat of government; assist in the administration of the capital outlay budget of the Commonwealth; to assist in acquisition of real property either by lease or purchase; to perform centralized purchasing functions of the Commonwealth; to dispose of surplus real property and material and supplies; to provide a comprehensive risk management insurance program for all agencies and institutions; to operate a centralized purchasing and warehousing function for supplying State agencies and certain political subdivisions with equipment and supplies; to acquire or provide printing services for State agencies and institutions; provide central mail and messenger service for State agencies in the area of the seat of government; provide laboratory research and scientific services in the area of environmental sciences; forensic science, microbiology, and product regulation; to provide training to law enforcement personnel in the collection and preservation of evidence; and to conduct programs on inspection and certification of certain laboratories through the state.\n","Electronic records in this collection are read-only and are only available in the Archives Research Room at the Library of Virginia.

The Legislature, sitting in sessions between 1780 May 4 and 1780 July 14, passed \"An act for procuring a supply of provisions and other necessaries for the use of the Army\" [Hening 10:233-237].  This act, extended in other sessions, authorized the governor to appoint commissioners within each county to impress such supplies and services as were thought necessary to the war effort.\n","The commissioners issued receipts, or certificates, to individuals for the requisitioned items so that owners could seek reimbursement from the state government.  The certificates and any other available documentation were presented to the county court during special sessions held between 1781 and 1783.  Certificates were examined and authenticated by the courts, and the amount of compensation was determined.

The General Assembly created separate secretariats for transportation and for public safety on April 12, 1976, and placed the department and commission under the secretary of transportation. Effective July 1, 1984, the two secretariats were recombined. The agency is now known as the Virginia Department of Transportation.\n","The Construction Division is responsible for federal Submissions of projects to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), contractor prequalification, advertisement and award of Design Bid Build contracts, Value Engineering, Specifications, contract claims, contract management oversight for Design Build and Design Bid Build projects, Construction Engineering and Inspection programmatic coordination and oversight, project controls, the Construction Quality Improvement Program Section (CQIP), construction software administration, and Construction modernization initiatives.

In 1982, the General Assembly recognized the significance of programs for older Virginians by upgrading the Office on Aging to full departmental status.\n","The Dept. for the Aging was designated at the state's unit on aging as required by the Older Americans Act and the federal Administration on Aging. The Dept. was responsible for planning, coordinating, funding, and evaluating programs for older Virginian's which were made possible through funding from both the Older Americans Act and from the Virginia General Assembly. The programs included a full range of nutrition, transportation, health, education, and social services to improve the quality of life for older Virginians. The Dept. also worked with local agencies established under the auspices of the Older Americans Act called Area Agencies on Aging (AAA). The AAAs were designated by the Dept. for the Aging, with the sanction of local governments, to plan, coordinate, and administer aging services at the community level.\n","The Dept. for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) was created in 2012 by merging the former Dept. of Rehabilitative Services and the Dept. for the Aging. In 2013, the adult services units from Virginia's Dept. of Social Services became part of the agency. DARS provides and advocates for the highest quality of services to help older Virginians and those with disabilities to maximize and secure their employment, independence and full inclusion into society and guides the Commonwealth in preparing for an aging population. At the state level, this agency works with its community partners to be more effective in strategic planning, budgeting, program monitoring and evaluation and training and technical support.\n","Within Aging Services, the Virginia Division for the Aging (VDA) works with local Area Agencies on Aging and various other public and private organizations to help older Virginians and their families fidn the services and information that they need to lead healthy and independent lives as they grow older. VDA oversees all funds provided by the federal Older Americans Act and the Virginia General Assembly. Aging Services also incudes the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman,which advocates for older persons receiving long term care services, and the Adult Protective Care Division, which investigates reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of adults 60 years of age or older and incapacitated adults age 18 or older.","Electronic records in this collection are read-only and are only available in the Archives Research Room at the Library of Virginia.

Miscellaneous court video recordings, 1989-2010","The Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia was created by an act of the General Assembly passed at the May 1779 session and has continued to the present day. Its antecedent was the General Court, which, after it was reestablished under the constitution of 1776, shared appellate jurisdiction with the Supreme Court until 1851, when the new state constitution abolished the General Court. Prior to that date the General Court had criminal jurisdiction, while the Supreme Court was restricted to civil cases. While the court now has concurrent original jurisdiction in issuing and hearing writs of habeas corpus, mandamus and prohibition, retirement, removal, and matters of judicial censure, its jurisdiction is almost exclusively appellate. An act of the General Assembly passed on March 16, 1971 changed the name of the court to the Supreme Court of Virginia.","Justices are elected by a majority vote of both houses of the General Assembly for a term of twelve years.  Vacancies on the court occuring between sessions of the General Assembly may be filled by the Governor for a term expiring thirty days after the commencement of the next session of the General Assembly.  By statute, the Chief Justice is chosen by a majority vote of the seven justices.","By statute, the court may designate a retired justice to serve as Senior Justice for a renewable one year term.  Senior Justices sit with the court during regular sessions hearing writs and sitting on merit cases, especially when an active member of the court is recused from hearing a particular case.","The Court of Appeals of Virginia was established on January 1, 1985.  It provides appellate review of final decisions of the circuit courts in domestic relations matters, appeals from decisions of an administrative agency, traffic infractions and criminal cases, except where a sentence of death has been imposed.  It also hears appeals of final decisions of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission.

Prior to that date the General Court had criminal jurisdiction, while the Supreme Court was restricted to civil cases. While the court now has concurrent original jurisdiction in issuing and hearing writs of habeas corpus, mandamus and prohibition, retirement, removal, and matters of judicial censure, its jurisdiction is almost exclusively appellate.

By statute, the Chief Justice is chosen by a majority vote of the seven justices.","By statute, the court may designate a retired justice to serve as Senior Justice for a renewable one year term.

Its antecedent was the General Court, which, after it was reestablished under the constitution of 1776, shared appellate jurisdiction with the Supreme Court until 1851, when the new state constitution abolished the General Court. Prior to that date the General Court had criminal jurisdiction, while the Supreme Court was restricted to civil cases. While the court now has concurrent original jurisdiction in issuing and hearing writs of habeas corpus, mandamus and prohibition, retirement, removal, and matters of judicial censure, its jurisdiction is almost exclusively appellate. An act of the General Assembly passed on March 16, 1971 changed the name of the court to the Supreme Court of Virginia.","Justices are elected by a majority vote of both houses of the General Assembly for a term of twelve years.  Vacancies on the court occuring between sessions of the General Assembly may be filled by the Governor for a term expiring thirty days after the commencement of the next session of the General Assembly.  By statute, the Chief Justice is chosen by a majority vote of the seven justices.","By statute, the court may designate a retired justice to serve as Senior Justice for a renewable one year term.  Senior Justices sit with the court during regular sessions hearing writs and sitting on merit cases, especially when an active member of the court is recused from hearing a particular case.","The Court of Appeals of Virginia was established on January 1, 1985.  It provides appellate review of final decisions of the circuit courts in domestic relations matters, appeals from decisions of an administrative agency, traffic infractions and criminal cases, except where a sentence of death has been imposed.  It also hears appeals of final decisions of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission.  Except in those cases where the decision of the Court of Appeals is final, any party aggrrieved by a decision of the Court of Appeals may petition the Supreme Court for an appeal.  The Court of Appeals consists of eleven judges.  The court sits in panels of at least three judges, and the membership of the panels is rotated.
