The Policy Office is a division of the Office of the Governor in the Executive Branch of Virginia state government. During
Governor Robert McDonnell's administration, the Policy Office was responsible for identifying emerging issues, implementing
gubernatorial initiatives, and providing policy and political advice to the Governor. The Policy Office worked with the Cabinet
and Administration to develop gubernatorial policies and conduct outreach to key stake holders. The Policy Office was responsible
for managing the legislative process (preparing bills and legislative packages and reviewing bills), reviewing budget requests,
and ensuring agency performance in implementing the administration's agenda.
Governor McDonnell established the policy framework for his administration on his first full day in office through two executive
orders. On 16 January 2010, Governor McDonnell issued Executive Order One establishing the Chief Job Creation Officer and
the Governor's Economic Development and Job Creation Commission. McDonnell named Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling as Chief
Jobs Officer who served as co-chair of the Commission. Other Commission members included the Secretaries of Commerce and Trade,
Agriculture and Forestry, Natural Resources, Transportation, Technology, Finance, Education and Administration, or their designees.
The Commission also included citizens representing a cross segment of industry and business sectors, including small and rural
businesses. Governor McDonnell charged the Commission with: identifying impediments to and opportunities for job creation;
review how other states and foreign countries attracted jobs and how Virginia could replicate and improve upon those initiatives;
review the agencies' role in job creation and make recommendations on those efforts could be better coordinated; make recommendations
on new investments and changes to the tax and regulatory environment of Virginia; evaluate current programs and investments
designed to develop the workforce and attract and retain businesses in Virginia; and assist the Virginia Economic Development
Partnership to identify and target industries and businesses to recruit to Virginia.
The Commission created focusing on six key economic development priorities: business recruitment and retention; economically
challenged regions and localities; energy research, exploration and production; small business; tourism and film marketing;
and real estate and construction.
On 16 January 2010, Governor McDonnell issued Executive Order Two establishing the Governor's Commission on Government Reform
and Restructuring. The Commission was charged with conducting a thorough review of Virginia state government. Specifically,
they focused on four areas: identifying opportunities for creating efficiencies in state government, including streamlining,
consolidating, or eliminating redundant and unnecessary agency services, governing bodies, regulations and programs; explore
innovative ways to deliver state services at the lowest cost and best value to Virginia taxpayers; seek out means to more
effectively and efficiently perform core state functions, including privatization of government operations where appropriate;
and examine ways for state government to be more transparent, user friendly and accountable. Executive Order 32, issued 12
April 2011, continued the work of the Commission.
Other major policy initiatives focused on education, health care, higher education and transportation. Some of the education
initiatives included the establishment of an A-F grading system for all Virginia schools, increased the number of K-12 STEM
academies, virtual schools and the administration's Opportunity to Learn Education Reform legislation. The Virginia Health
Reform Initiative Advisory Council provided recommendations a comprehensive strategy for implementing health reform to increase
efficiency delivery of high quality health care at a lower cost. The administration also successfully negotiated a major settlement
agreement to resolve a complaint by the United States Department of Justice regarding individuals residing at a training center.
The Governor's Higher Education Commission, created by Executive Order Nine on 26 March 2010, was charged with developing
"a comprehensive strategy for increased educational attainment, skills development, and lifelong learning." It recommended
legislation, "Preparing for the Top Jobs of the 21st Century: The Virginia Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2011," focusing
on economic opportunity, reform-based investment and affordable access. The Virginia General Assembly passed legislation enacting
many of the Commissions recommendations in 2011. In 2013, Virginia passed the administration's long-term transportation funding
plan.
