services and the enforcement laws pertaining to the motor carrier
industry currently reside in several state agencies, including the

2035; and
Whereas, State infrastructure and resources to deliver the
services and monitoring required by the motor carrier industry to
compete in the international arena of the transportation of goods
and services are scarce; and

the state and the motor carrier industry to provide these services
on a one-stop basis through consolidated facilities and enhanced e-
government; and
Whereas, There is published information available involving
the deployment in the various states of a national set of systems
known as the Commercial Vehicles Information Systems and Networks
(CVISN) Program, relating to the safety, credentials and weight
regulations of motor carriers as well as fuel tax; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study issues related to the regulation of the motor
carrier industry and the Commercial Vehicles Information Systems
and Networks (CVISN) Program; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance seek input from the Public Service Commission, Division of
Highways, Division of Motor Vehicles, State Tax Division and the State Police, as well as from the West Virginia Motor Truck
Association, as to how services required by the motor carrier
industry may be more efficiently provided; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance seek input from the Division of Motor Vehicles and from the
other sources referred by that division pertaining to whether and
to what extent this state should adopt and implement the provisions
of the Commercial Vehicles Information Systems and Networks (CVISN)
Program; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2011, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it

Senator Plymale, from the Committee on Education, submitted
the following report, which was received:
Your Committee on Education has had under consideration
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 15 (originating in the
Committee on Education)--
Requesting the
Joint Committee on
Government and Finance
study the issue of student performance in
relation to instructional time and the issue of counting as full
instructional days those days which have two hour delays or early
dismissals.
Whereas, There is some evidence indicating that the amount of
time spent in engaged academic learning in school correlates
positively with academic achievement, particularly in reading, math
and science, and especially for low performing students; and
Whereas, A study of Grade 8 students in 39 countries found a
moderate positive association between total school days per year
and mathematics and science scores, such that students in countries
with longer school years also had higher achievement rates in these
areas of study; and
Whereas, The majority of states, including West Virginia, set
the school year at 180 days; and
Whereas, Only three counties in West Virginia met the
statutorily mandated 180 days with half falling at or below 176
days in 2008-2009; and
Whereas, Unscheduled two hour delays or early dismissals were
called in the state an average of 6.9 days during the 2008-2009
school year due to inclement weather; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance
is hereby
requested to study instructional time in and for the state; and,
be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance
report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2011, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
