TITLE 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE

CHAPTER 53 - ADVISORY COMMISSION ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

-HEAD-

Sec. 4272. Declaration of purpose

-STATUTE-

Because the complexity of modern life intensifies the need in a

federal form of government for the fullest cooperation and

coordination of activities between the levels of government, and

because population growth and scientific developments portend an

increasingly complex society in future years, it is essential that

an appropriate agency be established to give continuing attention

to intergovernmental problems.

It is intended that the Commission, in the performance of its

duties, will -

(1) bring together representatives of the Federal, State, and

local governments for the consideration of common problems;

(2) provide a forum for discussing the administration and

coordination of Federal grant and other programs requiring

intergovernmental cooperation;

(3) give critical attention to the conditions and controls

involved in the administration of Federal grant programs;

(4) make available technical assistance to the executive and

legislative branches of the Federal Government in the review of

proposed legislation to determine its overall effect on the

Federal system;

(5) encourage discussion and study at an early stage of

emerging public problems that are likely to require

intergovernmental cooperation;

(6) recommend, within the framework of the Constitution, the

most desirable allocation of governmental functions,

responsibilities, and revenues among the several levels of

government; and

(7) recommend methods of coordinating and simplifying tax laws

and administrative practices to achieve a more orderly and less

competitive fiscal relationship between the levels of government

and to reduce the burden of compliance for taxpayers.
